5.5.2 Switching User Levels

If a user wants to upgrade from a lower level to a higher level after logging in to the router, a
password is required. The password needs to be configured in advance.
Context
To prevent an unauthorized user from using high-level commands, a password is required to
increase the user level.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
super password [ level user-level ] { simple | cipher } password
The password for switching user levels is configured.
By default, the password for the user is set to Level 3.
If simple is configured, the password is saved in the configuration file in plain text. This means
that low-level login users can easily obtain and change the password by checking the
configuration file, compromising the network security. Therefore, selecting cipher to save the
password in the cipher text is recommended.
If cipher is used to set the password, the password cannot be obtained from the system. Save
the password to avoid oblivion or missing.
Step 3 Run:
quit
Return to the user view.
Step 4 Run:
