IOS command-User EXEC

User EXEC mode commands

Initially, a user logs into the User Exec mode. This is the mode with the least number of commands. You can get a list of all available commands by typing the character “?”.

 

 

As you can see, most of the commands available are used to show statistics and perform some basic troubleshooting. The prompt on the left side of the screen always displays the device hostname (R1 in this case), followed by the character >.

 

All commands can be abbreviated to their first letters of the command name. For example, you can abbreviate ping by typing pin, because no other command in the User EXEC mode IOS mode begins with these letters.
