EXEC Mode
When you initially log in to the switch, by default, you are logged in to EXEC mode. This mode allows you to view settings
and enter EXEC Privilege mode, which is used to configure the device.
When you are in EXEC mode, the > prompt is displayed following the host name prompt, which is “FTOS” by default. You
can change the host name prompt using the hostname command.
NOTE: Each mode prompt is preceded by the host name.
EXEC Privilege Mode
The enable command accesses EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an “Enable” password, you
are prompted to enter it.
EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all the commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other commands, such as to
clear address resolution protocol (ARP) entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access CONFIGURATION mode to
configure interfaces, routes and protocols on the switch. While you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt
is displayed.

(conf-ext-community-list).
