Terminology

Enable Level: Manager privileges on the switch.
■
Login Level: Operator privileges on the switch.
■
■ Local password or username: A Manager-level or Operator-level
password configured in the switch.
■ SSH Enabled: (1) A public/private key pair has been generated on
the switch (generate ssh [dsa | rsa]) and (2) SSH is enabled (ip ssh).
(You can generate a key pair without enabling SSH, but you cannot
enable SSH without first generating a key pair. See "2. Generating the
Switch's Public and Private Key Pair" on page 6-10 and "4. Enabling
SSH on the Switch and Anticipating SSH Client Contact Behavior" on
page 6-15.)
