Logging Into The Router

In: Cisco Router Config

19 May 2009

After the interface status messages appear and you press Enter, the Router> prompt will appear. This is called user exec mode (user mode) and it’s mostly used to view statistics, but it’s also a stepping-stone to logging into privileged mode.

You can only view and change the configuration of a Cisco router in privileged exec mode (privileged mode), which you get into with the enable command.

Router>
Router>enable
Router#

You now end up with a Router# prompt, which indicates that you’re in privileged mode, where you can both view and change the router’s configuration.

You can go back from privileged mode into user mode by using the disable command, as seen here:

Router#disable
Router>

At this point, you can type logout to exit the console:

Router>logout
Router con0 is now available
Press RETURN to get started.

Or you could just type logout or exit from the privileged-mode prompt to log out:

Router>en
Router#logout
Router con0 is now available
Press RETURN to get started.

This is steps to logging in to your cisco router after these you need to learn  how to use the commands to config your router follow your jobs or your network diagrams linking, hope this is help you fix out in begin.
