How to Create Cisco Router Password for Different Modes?

I want to show you in this article basic routing configuration. But before this ı must explain the mod of routing. Now let starting.

There are 3 main modes of routing.  U ser mode, privileged mode, global configuration mode. there are some more modes but all of them are under the global configuration mode.

route> This mode is named user mode. Provides only some basic monitoring commands such as; show version, show flash, show IP interface brief and ping, traceroute.  modifications and configuration are not allowed in this mode.

route> enable

 route#

route# This mode is named privileged mode. İn this mode is passed from the user-mode with the enable command. provide monitoring and some troubleshooting.

router#configure terminal

router(config)# This mode is named global configuration mode. provide all configuration that affects the entire router.
