2.2 Introduction To Networks - IOS Navigation

This document discusses navigating the Cisco IOS using the command line interface (CLI). There are two primary command modes - user EXEC mode which allows limited monitoring commands, and privileged EXEC mode which allows configuration commands. Global configuration mode is accessed from privileged EXEC mode and allows configuration changes that affect the whole device. Additional subconfiguration modes allow configuring specific parts of the device, such as line configuration mode for access settings and interface configuration mode for network interfaces. Commands like enable, disable, configure terminal, and exit are used to navigate between the different modes.

2.1 Cisco IOS Access 


In the previous topic, you learned that all network devices require an OS and that they can be configured using the CLI or a GUI.
Using the CLI may provide the network administrator with more precise control and flexibility than using the GUI. This topic
2.1.1 Operating Systems discusses using CLI to navigate the Cisco IOS.

2.1.2 GUI As a security feature, the Cisco IOS software separates management access into the following two command modes:

User EXEC Mode - This mode has limited capabilities but is useful for basic operations. It allows only a limited number of
2.1.3 Purpose of an OS basic monitoring commands but does not allow the execution of any commands that might change the configuration of the
device. The user EXEC mode is identified by the CLI prompt that ends with the > symbol.
2.1.4 Access Methods Privileged EXEC Mode - To execute configuration commands, a network administrator must access privileged EXEC mode.
Higher configuration modes, like global configuration mode, can only be reached from privileged EXEC mode. The privileged
EXEC mode can be identified by the prompt ending with the # symbol.
2.1.5 Terminal Emulation Programs

The table summarizes the two modes and displays the default CLI prompts of a Cisco switch and router.

Check Your Understanding - IOS From global config mode, CLI configuration changes are made that affect the operation of the device as a whole. Global
2.2.8
Navigation configuration mode is identified by a prompt that ends with (config)# after the device name, such as Switch(config)#.

2.3 The Command Structure  Global configuration mode is accessed before other specific configuration modes. From global config mode, the user can enter
different subconfiguration modes. Each of these modes allows the configuration of a particular part or function of the IOS device.
Two common subconfiguration modes include:
2.4 Basic Device Configuration 
Line Configuration Mode - Used to configure console, SSH, Telnet, or AUX access.
2.5 Save Configurations  Interface Configuration Mode - Used to configure a switch port or router network interface.

When the CLI is used, the mode is identified by the command-line prompt that is unique to that mode. By default, every prompt
2.6 Ports and Addresses 
begins with the device name. Following the name, the remainder of the prompt indicates the mode. For example, the default
prompt for line configuration mode is Switch(config-line)# and the default prompt for interface configuration mode is

2.0 Introduction 
Various commands are used to move in and out of command prompts. To move from user EXEC mode to privileged EXEC mode,
use the enable command. Use the disable privileged EXEC mode command to return to user EXEC mode.
2.0.1 Why should I take this module?

Note: Privileged EXEC mode is sometimes called enable mode.

To move in and out of global configuration mode, use the configure terminal privileged EXEC mode command. To return to the
privileged EXEC mode, enter the exit global config mode command.
2.1 Cisco IOS Access 
There are many different subconfiguration modes. For example, to enter line subconfiguration mode, you use the line command
2.1.1 Operating Systems followed by the management line type and number you wish to access. Use the exit command to exit a subconfiguration mode
and return to global configuration mode.

Ctrl+Z.

6 Data Link Layer  When you are learning how to modify device configurations, you might want to start in a safe, non-production environment
before trying it on real equipment. NetAcad gives you different simulation tools to help build your configuration and
troubleshooting skills. Because these are simulation tools, they typically do not have all the functionality of real equipment. One
7 Ethernet Switching  such tool is the Syntax Checker. In each Syntax Checker, you are given a set of instructions to enter a specific set of commands.
You cannot progress in Syntax Checker unless the exact and full command is entered as specified. More advanced simulation
tools, such as Packet Tracer, let you enter abbreviated commands, much as you would do on real equipment.
