Modifying The Command Level - 3Com 4200G 12-Port Configuration Manual

Monitor level (level 1): Commands at this level are mainly used to maintain the system and
diagnose service faults, and they cannot be saved in configuration file. Such commands include
debugging and terminal.
System level (level 2): Commands at this level are mainly used to configure services. Commands
concerning routing and network layers are at this level. These commands can be used to provide
network services directly.
Manage level (level 3): Commands at this level are associated with the basic operation modules
and support modules of the system. These commands provide support for services. Commands
concerning file system, FTP/TFTP/XModem downloading, user management, and level setting are
at this level.
By using the command-privilege level command, the administrator can change the level of a
command in a specific view as required. For details, refer to
User privilege level
Users logged into the switch fall into four user privilege levels, which correspond to the four command
levels respectively. Users at a specific level can only use the commands at the same level or lower
levels.
By default, the Console user (a user who logs into the switch through the Console port) is a level-3 user
and can use commands of level 0 through level 3, while Telnet users are level-0 users and can only use
commands of level 0.
You can use the user privilege level command to set the default user privilege level for users logging in
through a certain user interface. For details, refer to Login Operation.
If a user logs in using AAA authentication, the user privilege level depends on the configuration of the
AAA scheme. For details, refer to AAA Operation.
Users can switch their user privilege level temporarily without logging out and disconnecting the current
connection; after the switch, users can continue to configure the device without the need of relogin and
reauthentication, but the commands that they can execute have changed. For details, refer to
User Level.
