Privilege Level And Command Mode - ZyXEL Communications XS3800-28 Cli Reference Manual

• Using vendor-specific attributes in an external authentication server. See the User's Guide for more
information.
The admin account has a privilege level of 14, so the administrator can run every command. You
cannot change the privilege level of the admin account.
2.1.3 Privilege Levels for Sessions
The session's privilege level initially comes from the privilege level of the login account the user used to
log in to the Switch. After logging in, the user can use the following commands to change the session's
privilege level.
2.1.3.1 enable Command
This command raises the session's privilege level to 14. It also changes the session to enable mode (if not
already in enable mode). This command is available in user mode or enable mode, and users have to
know the enable password.
In the following example, the login account user0 has a privilege level of 0 but knows that the enable
password is 123456. Afterwards, the session's privilege level is 14, instead of 0, and the session changes to
enable mode.
sysname> enable
Password: 123456
sysname#
The default enable password is 1234. Use this command to set the enable password.
password <password>
<password> consists of 1-32 alphanumeric characters. For example, the following command sets the
enable password to 123456. See
sysname(config)# password 123456
The password is sent in plain text and stored in the Switch's buffers. Use this command to set the cipher
password for password encryption.
password cipher <password>
<password> consists of 32 alphanumeric characters. For example, the following command encrypts the
enable password with a 32-character cipher password. See
information about this command.
sysname(config)# password cipher qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm123456
2.1.3.2 enable <0-14> Command
This command raises the session's privilege level to the specified level. It also changes the session to
enable mode, if the specified level is 13 or 14. This command is available in user mode or enable mode,
and users have to know the password for the specified privilege level.
