Authorization Level — Indicates the level of commands you can execute. A user with a simple
authorization level can only view some information in the system, while a higher level administrator
can actually make changes to configuration.
This manual documents commands up to and including the admin authorization level.
Command Hierarchy Level — Provides you with a context for initiating commands. Commands are
broken down into categories and you can only execute each command within the context of its
category. For example, to configure parameters related to the Line Card, you need to be within the
Linecard Interface Configuration Mode. (See
