Switching User Privilege Level - HP A-F1000-E Getting Started Manual

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface vty 0 4
[Sysname-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode none
[Sysname-ui-vty0-4] user privilege level 1
# Authenticate users logged in to the switch through Telnet, verify their password, and specify their user
privilege level as 2.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface vty 0 4
[Sysname-ui-vty1] authentication-mode password
[Sysname-ui-vty0-4] set authentication password cipher 12345678
[Sysname-ui-vty0-4] user privilege level 2
By default, users logged in through Telnet use the commands of level 0 after passing the authentication.
After the configuration, when users log in to the switch through Telnet, they need to input password
12345678, and then they can use commands of levels 0, 1, and 2.

Switching user privilege level

Introduction
Users can switch to a different user privilege level temporarily without logging out and terminating the
current connection. After the privilege level switch, users can continue to configure the switch without the
need to re-log in, but the commands that they can execute have changed. For example, if the current user
privilege level is 3, the user can configure system parameters. After switching to user privilege level 0, the
user can only execute simple commands, like ping and tracert, and only a few display commands. The
switching operation is effective for the current login. After the user relogs in, the user privilege restores to
the original level.
To avoid problems, HP recommends that administrators log in to the switch by using a lower
•
privilege level and view switch operating parameters, and when they have to maintain the switch,
they can switch to a higher level temporarily
• If the administrators need to leave for a while or ask someone else to manage the switch temporarily,
they can switch to a lower privilege level before they leave to restrict the operation by others.
