Exec Commands When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name and
password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command mode (or guest
mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only a limited number of the
commands are available in this mode. You can access all commands only from the
Privileged Exec command mode (or administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec
mode, open a new console session with the user name and password “admin.” The
system will now display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter
Privileged Exec mode from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the enable
command, followed by the privileged level password “super.”
To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and passwords:
Username: admin
Password: [admin login password]
CLI session with the ECS4210-28T is opened.
To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].
Console#
Username: guest
Password: [guest login password]
CLI session with the ECS4210-28T is opened.

Configuration
Commands
Configuration commands are privileged level commands used to modify switch
settings. These commands modify the running configuration only and are not
saved when the switch is rebooted. To store the running configuration in non-
volatile storage, use the copy running-config startup-config command.
The configuration commands are organized into different modes:
◆ Global Configuration - These commands modify the system level configuration,
and include commands such as hostname and snmp-server community.
◆ Access Control List Configuration - These commands are used for packet
filtering.
◆ Class Map Configuration - Creates a DiffServ class map for a specified traffic
type.
* You must be in Privileged Exec mode to access the Global configuration mode.
You must be in Global Configuration mode to access any of the other configuration modes.
