The EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other
commands, such as to clear ARP entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access the
CONFIGURATION mode to configure interfaces, routes, and protocols on the switch. While you are
logged in to the EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt is displayed.
CONFIGURATION Mode
In the EXEC Privilege mode, use the configure command to enter the CONFIGURATION mode and
configure routing protocols and access interfaces.
To enter the CONFIGURATION mode:
1. Verify that you are logged in to the EXEC Privilege mode.
2. Enter the configure command. The prompt changes to include (conf).
From this mode, you can enter INTERFACE by using the interface command.
INTERFACE Mode
Use the INTERFACE mode to configure interfaces or IP services on those interfaces. An interface can
be physical (for example, a Gigabit Ethernet port) or virtual (for example, the Null interface).
To enter INTERFACE mode:
1. Verify that you are logged into the CONFIGURATION mode.
2. Enter the interface command followed by an interface type and interface number that is available
on the switch.
3. The prompt changes to include the designated interface and slot/port number, as outlined in
Table 2-3.
LINE Mode
Use the LINE mode to configure console or virtual terminal parameters.
