The exit command is used to move back from any mode to a previous level mode, for example, from Interface Configuration Mode to Global Configuration
Mode, and from Global Configuration Mode to Privileged EXEC Mode.

l
Mode prompt consists of the device host name followed by the pound sign # and (config).
