Logging into the Router
After the interface status messages appear and you press Enter, the Router>
prompt will appear. This is called user mode and is mostly used to view sta-
tistics, though it is also a stepping-stone to logging into privileged mode. You
can only view and change the configuration of a Cisco router in privileged
mode, which you get into with the enable command.
Router>
Router>enable
Router#
You now end up with a Router# prompt, which indicates you're now in
privileged mode, where you can both view and change the router's configu-
ration. You can go back from privileged mode into user mode by using the
disable
command.
