•
Power User - Privilege 8. This user account level can execute fewer commands than operator,
including configuration commands other than the operator level and administrator level
commands.
•
Operator - Privilege Level 12. This user account level is used to grant system configuration rights
for users who need to change or monitor system configuration, except for security related
information such as user accounts and SNMP account settings, etc.
•
Administrator - Privilege Level 15. This administrator user account level can monitor all system
information and change any of the system configuration settings expressed in this configuration
guide.
The command-line interface has a number of command modes. There are three basic command modes:
•
User EXEC Mode
•
Privileged EXEC Mode
•
Global Configuration Mode
All other sub-configuration modes can be accessed via the Global Configuration Mode.
When a user logs in to the switch, the privilege level of the user determines the command mode the user
will enter after initially logging in. The user will either log into User EXEC Mode or the Privileged EXEC
Mode.
•
Users with a basic user level will log into the switch in the User EXEC Mode.
•
Users with advanced user, power-user, operator or administrator level accounts will log into the
switch in the Privileged EXEC Mode.
Therefore, the User EXEC Mode can operate at a basic user level and the Privileged EXEC Mode can
operate at the advanced user, power-user, operator, or administrator levels. The user can only enter the
Global Configuration Mode from the Privileged EXEC Mode. The Global Configuration Mode can be
accessed by users who have operator or administrator level user accounts.
As for sub-configuration modes, a subset of those can only be accessed by users who have the highest
secure administrator level privileges.
The following table briefly lists the available command modes. Only the basic command modes and some
of the sub-configuration modes are enumerated. The basic command modes and basic sub-configuration
modes are further described in the following chapters. Descriptions for the rest of the sub-configuration
modes are not provided in this section. For more information on the additional sub-configuration modes,
the user should refer to the chapters relating to these functions.
The available command modes and privilege levels are described below:

to check basic system settings.

account can only show limited information that is not related to security.
This level can execute less commands than operator, include the
configure commands other than the operator level and administrator
level commands.
