Setting super password control parameters

NOTE:

CLI commands fall into four levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, in ascending order. Accordingly, login
users fall into four levels, each corresponding to a command level. A user of a certain level can only use the
commands at that level or lower levels.

To switch from a lower user level to a higher one, a user needs to enter a password for authentication. This
password is called a "super password". For details on super passwords, see the
Guide
.
