Step
3. Configure a password for the
user privilege level.
Switching to a higher user privilege level
Before you switch to a higher user privilege level, obtain the required authentication information as
described in
When the level switching authentication mode is scheme, you have three opportunities to enter the
correct password for one switching operation.
When the level switching authentication mode is local, you have five opportunities to enter the correct
password for one switching operation. If you fail to provide the correct password during five consecutive
attempts, the switching operation fails and you must wait 15 minutes before trying again. Trying again
before the 15-minute period elapses restores the wait timer to 15 minutes and restarts the timer.
To switch the user privilege level, perform the following task in user view:

Remarks
If local authentication is involved,
this step is required.
By default, a user privilege level
has no password.
If no user privilege level is specified
when you configure the command,
the user privilege level defaults to
3.
If local-only authentication is used,
a console user interface user can
switch to a higher privilege level,
even if the privilege level has not
been assigned a password.
