Chapter 45 Introducing Commands

45.7 Privilege Levels

You can use a command whose privilege level is equal to or less than that of your login
account. For example, if your login account has a privilege level of 12, you can use all
commands with privilege levels from 0 to 12. 0 privilege level commands are available to all
login accounts.
If you use an external RADIUS server to authenticate users, you can use a
VSA (Vendor Specific Attribute) to configure a privilege level for an account on
the RADIUS server. See
Use the following commands to specify privilege levels for login accounts.
Syntax:
logins username <username> password <password>
logins username <username> privilege <0-14>
where
username <username>
password <password>
privilege <0-14>

45.8 Command Modes

There are three command modes: User, Enable and Configure. The modes (and commands)
available to you depend on what level of privilege your account has. See
328 for more information on setting up privilege levels.
When you first log into the command interpreter with a read-only account (having a privilege
of 0), the initial mode is the User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of Enable
mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>).
To enter Enable mode, type
default is 1234). When you enter Enable mode, the command prompt changes to the pound
sign ( ). If you log into the command interpreter as an administrator you automatically enter
#
Enable mode.
