IOS: Enable and …. Disable ?

20th July 2008 By 1 Comment

All these years, and I didn’t realise the opposite of the enable, was disable. 

Router>
Router>enable
Router#disable
Router>

Does this means that I am ‘dissing’ my router ?

    very handy, if you’ve still got some old switches running catos in your environment

    as exit will just log you off, compared to getting out of enable in ios

    switch1> (enable)
    switch1> (enable) disable
