PreviousConsole CablingNextSecuring User Mode and Privileged Mode

Last updated 4 years ago

  • After accessing the using either of the three Access Methods (Console, Telnet & SSH), user will be initially placed in the User EXEC Mode/User Mode where user has only Read-Only Access. Then there are additional 2 Modes, Enable Mode/Privileged Mode/Privileged EXEC mode, Global Configuration Mode where a user gets the access to configuration.

User Mode/ User EXEC Mode (>):

  • When a user gets the access to CLI they are initially placed in User EXEC Mode/User Mode.

  • Only display commands work here & in return Switch/Router executes (where it got this name) those commands & displays the result as this mode has Read-Only Access.

    Enable Mode/Privileged Mode/Privileged EXEC mode (#):

  • An advanced version of EXEC Mode/User Mode where a user gets more privileges (where it got this name) like Rebooting a Router/Switch from '#Reload' command.

  • To get in the Enable/ Privileged/ Privileged EXEC mode, user has to type in '>Enable' (where it got this name) in EXEC/User Mode. Similarly, to get back to EXEC/User Mode user needs to type in '>Disable'.

The commands that can be used in either User Mode/ User EXEC Mode or Enable Mode/Privileged Mode/Privileged EXEC mode are called EXEC Commands.

Global Configuration Mode (conf t):

  • The only mode where Switch/Router accepts the configuration as the User gets the full access to the Router/Switch.

  • Generally, when multiple commands (instances) of a parameter are to be set in a single Switch then SUBCOMMAND is likely used to set the parameters (E.g. host name Command). However, if a Single instance command are to be used for a single instance of a single Switch then GLOBAL command is likely used to set the parameters(E.g. interface speed Command).

    The User Mode and Privileged Mode can be secured in the following ways:

  • Using password only

  • Using Username & Password

    ()

  • Using External Authentication Servers
