Command Modes
The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into different modes. Each command mode permits you to configure
different components on your router. The commands available at any given time depend on which mode you
are currently in. Entering a question mark (?) at the prompt displays a list of commands available for each
command mode. The following table lists the most common command modes.

check the prompt, and enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong
command mode or be using the wrong syntax.
Timesaver
In the following example, notice how the prompt changes after each command, to indicate a new command
mode for Cisco vg400:
Router> enable
Password: <enable password>
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0/0
Router#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
The last message is normal and does not indicate an error. Press Return to get the Router# prompt.
Press Ctrl-Z in any mode to immediately return to enable mode ( Router# ), instead of entering exit, which
returns you to the previous mode.
