User and Privileged Modes
Example 4-1 demonstrates the differences between user and enable modes. The example
shows the output that you could see in a terminal emulator window, for instance, when con-
necting from the console. In this case, the user sits at the user mode prompt (“Certskills1>”)
and tries the reload command. The reload command tells the switch to reinitialize or reboot
Cisco IOS, so IOS allows this powerful command to be used only from enable mode. IOS
rejects the reload command when used in user mode. Then the user moves to enable mode—
also called privileged mode—(using the enable EXEC command). At that point, IOS accepts
the reload command now that the user is in enable mode.
