• 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 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 privileged EXEC mode. Users with a basic user
level will log into the Switch in user EXEC mode. Users with advanced user, power user, operator or administrator level
accounts will log into the Switch in privileged EXEC mode. Therefore, user EXEC mode can operate at basic user level
and privileged EXEC mode can operate at advanced user, power user, operator or administrator level. The user can
only enter global configuration mode from privileged EXEC mode. Therefore, global configuration mode can be
accessed by users who have advanced user, power user, 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.

Purpose
This level has the lowest priority of the user accounts. It is provided only to check
basic system settings.
This level is allowed to configure the terminal control setting. This user 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.
For changing both local and global terminal settings, monitoring, and performing
certain system administration tasks. The system administration tasks that can be
performed at this level includes the clearing of system configuration settings, except
for any security related information, such as user accounts, SNMP account settings
etc.
This level is identical to privileged EXEC mode at power user level, except that a
user at the administrator level can monitor and clear security related settings.
For applying global settings, including the configuration commands other than the
operator level and administrator level commands.
For applying global settings, except for security related settings, on the entire Switch.
In addition to applying global settings on the entire Switch, the user can access other
sub-configuration modes from global configuration mode.
For applying global settings on the entire Switch. In addition to applying global
settings on the entire Switch, the user can access other sub-configuration modes
from global configuration mode.
For applying interface related settings.
For applying VLAN interface related settings.
For applying settings to a VLAN.
