Step
Configure the privilege level for
users that log in through the current
user interface
To configure the user privilege level under a user interface (none or password authentication mode):
Step
Enter system view
Enter user interface view
Configure the authentication mode
for any user who uses the current
user interface to log in to the switch
Configure the privilege level of
users logged in through the current
user interface
Example of configuring a user privilege level under a user interface
# 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 15
[Sysname-ui-vty0-15] authentication-mode password
[Sysname-ui-vty0-15] set authentication password cipher 123
[Sysname-ui-vty0-15] user privilege level 2
By default, Telnet users can use the commands of level 0 after passing authentication. After the configuration
above is completed, when users log in to the switch through Telnet, they must enter password 123, and then
they can use commands of levels 0, 1, and 2.
