Level 1—Users with this level can only run User EXEC mode commands.

Users at this level cannot access the web GUI or commands in the

Privileged EXEC mode.

Level 7—Users with this level can run commands in the User EXEC mode

and a subset of commands in the Privileged EXEC mode. Users at this level

cannot access the web GUI.

Level 15—Users with this level can run all commands. Only users at this

level can access the web GUI.

A system administrator (user with level 15) can create passwords that allow a

lower level user to temporarily become a higher level user. For example, the user

may go from level 1 to level 7, level 1 to 15, or level 7 to level 15.

The passwords for each level are set (by an administrator) using the following

enable password [

encrypted-password}

Using these passwords, you can raise your user level by entering the command:

enable and the password for level 7 or 15. You can go from level 1 to level 7 or

directly to level 15. The higher level holds only for the current session.

The disable command returns the user to a lower level.

To create a user and assign it a user level, use the username command. Only users

with command level 15, can create users at this level.

Example—Create passwords for level 7 and 15 (by the administrator):

switchxxxxxx#configure

switchxxxxxx<conf># enable password level 7 level7@abc

switchxxxxxx<conf># enable password level 15 level15@abc

switchxxxxxx<conf>#

Create a user with user level 1:

switchxxxxxx#configure

switchxxxxxx<conf> username john password john1234

switchxxxxxx<conf>
