In a Matter of Saying…

- unprivileged mode = user mode = user exec mode
- privileged mode = enable mode = priviledged exec mode
You’d think that after 7 months of dedicated Cisco study that I’d know these terms like the back of my hand. Oh, are you wrong! More like the back of neck 
So last night I was reading about EIGRP and trying to setup a little lab setup from my extra CCNA books I never got to use. I came across some statements asking me to do things in privileged mode and things I can and can’t do in unprivileged mode. I had to go back to my “early days” 
and re-affirm that what I understood the book saying is what it’s really trying to say. I was right, of course but the fact that I had to second guess myself with something as elementary meant that I didn’t have everything down cold yet.
