2950 Switch Startup
When you connect to the 2950 console, the IOS is booted. As the switch boots, it will show diagnostics
on the screen. It displays the version of code, information about the flash storage, various

You can exit the setup mode at any time by pressing Ctrl+C, and you can enter
the setup mode from the privileged mode by entering the command setup.
The alternative is to answer no to the option to enter setup, and then you are presented with
the user-mode switch prompt:
Switch>
No passwords are set, and entering the command enable will take you to the privileged prompt:
