Command prompts
An overview of command prompts and the related commands.
The command prompt shows you the user account under which you are logged in, the host name of the system you are logged in to, and whether you are in configuration mode or operational mode.
The format of the command prompt in configuration mode is as follows:

username@hostname:~$where, in both cases, username is the user account under which you are logged in and hostname is the host name configured for the system; see Command prompts for examples.
