Global Configuration Mode
Global Configuration commands apply to system features, rather than to a specific protocol or interface.
To access Global Configuration mode:
1. At the Privileged EXEC Mode prompt, type configure and press <Enter>. The Global
Configuration Mode displays as the device host name, followed by (config) and the number sign #.
console(config)#
2. To list the Global Configuration commands, enter a question mark at the command prompt.
3. To return from Global Configuration mode to Privileged EXEC mode, type the exit command or use
the <Ctrl><Z> command.
The following example illustrates how to access Global Configuration Mode and return to the Privileged
EXEC Mode :
console#
console#configure
console(config)#exit
console#
