User And Privilege Modes; User And Privilege Modes - ZyXEL Communications UAG Series Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to use these two modes.

2.1 User And Privilege Modes

This is the mode you are in when you first log into the CLI. (Do not confuse 'user mode' with types
of user accounts the UAG uses. See
types. 'User' type accounts can only run 'exit' in this mode. However, they may need to log into the
device in order to be authenticated for 'user-aware' policies, for example a firewall rule that a
particular user is exempt from or a VPN tunnel that only certain people may use.)
Type 'enable' to go to 'privilege mode'. No password is required. All commands can be run from
here except those marked with an asterisk. Many of these commands are for trouble-shooting
purposes, for example the htm (hardware test module) and debug commands. Customer support
may ask you to run some of these commands and send the results if you need assistance
troubleshooting your device.
For admin logins, all commands are visible in 'user mode' but not all can be run there. The following
table displays which commands can be run in 'user mode'. All commands can be run in 'privilege
mode'.
The htm and psm commands are for ZyXEL's internal manufacturing
process.
