Manager Privileges - HP ProCurve series 2500 Management And Configuration Manual

Manager Privileges

Manager privileges give you three additional levels of access: Manager, Global
Configuration, and Context Configuration. (See figure .) A " " character
delimits any Manager prompt. For example:
Manager level: Provides all Operator level privileges plus the ability to
I
perform system-level actions that do not require saving changes to the
system configuration file. The prompt for the Manager level contains only
the system name and the " " delimiter, as shown above. To select this
level, enter the enable command at the Operator level prompt and enter
the Manager password, when prompted. For example:
I Global Configuration level: Provides all Operator and Manager level
privileges, and enables you to make configuration changes to any of the
switch's software features. The prompt for the Global Configuration level
includes the system name and "
config command at the Manager prompt. For example:
I Context Configuration level: Provides all Operator and Manager
privileges, and enables you to make configuration changes in a specific
context, such as one or more ports or a VLAN. The prompt for the Context
Configuration level includes the system name and the selected context.
For example:
The Context level is useful, for example, if you want to execute several
commands directed at the same port or VLAN, or if you want to shorten
the command strings for a specific context area. To select this level, enter
the specific context at the Global Configuration level prompt. For
example, to select the context level for an existing VLAN with the VLAN
ID of 10, you would enter the following command and see the indicated
