If no switching password is set for a specific user level, the Console user can
directly switch to the level, while the Telnet users at lower levels will fail to switch to
the level (they will remain at their original levels) and the information like the
following will be displayed: % Password is not set.
I. Setting a user level switching password
Table 5-1 Set a password for use level switching

for user level switching
II. Switching to a specific user level
Table 5-2 Switch to a specific user level
Switch to a specified user
level
Note:
If no user level is specified in the super password command or the super
command, level 3 is used by default.
For security purpose, the password entered is not displayed when you switch to
another user level. You will remain at the original user level if you have tried three
times but failed to enter the correct password.
III. Configuration example
After a general user telnets to the switch, his/her user level is 0. Now, the network
administrator wants to allow general users to switch to level 3, so that they are able to
configure the switch.
# A level 3 user sets a switching password for user level 3.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] super password level 3 simple 123
# A general user telnets to the switch, and then uses the set password to switch to user
level 3.
