1 Cisco Inter-network Operating System (IOS)

1.1 Cisco IOS Operation Modes

The Cisco Software provides access to four different command modes. There are more
commands, but in normal use they are not necessary. Each command mode provides a
different group of related commands. For security purposes, the Cisco IOS software
provides two levels of access to commands: user and privileged. The unprivileged user
mode is called user EXEC mode. The privileged mode is called privileged EXEC mode
and requires a password.
The following table, Table (1) describes four used modes, how to enter the modes and
the resulting prompts. The prompt helps you identify which mode you are in and
therefore which commands are available to you. In Fig. (1) these four operation modes
are presented as a figure.
