9.6.2 Privilege Levels for Login Accounts

admin account has a level of 14, so the administrator can run every command. You cannot change

the privilege level of the admin account.

The session's privilege level initially comes from the privilege level of the login account the user

used to log in to the IES. After logging in, the user can use the following commands to change the

session's privilege level.

9.6.3.1 enable Command

This command raises the session's privilege level to 14. It also changes the session to enable mode,

if necessary. This command is available in user mode or enable mode. The IES does not have the

default password for the enable mode, you have to set a password for it first.

The following command sets the enable password to 123456.

ras# config

ras(config)# password 123456

ras(config)#

In the following example, the login user account has a privilege level of 0 but knows that the

highest level of enable password is 123456. Afterwards, the session's privilege level is 14, instead

of 0, and the session changes to enable mode.

ras# enable

Password: 123456

ras#

9.6.3.2 Password Privilege Command

password <password> <1-14>

The following command sets the password for privilege level 13 to pswd13.

ras(config)# password pswd13 privilege 13

9.6.3.3 enable <0-14> Command
