• Level 15 — Users with this level can run all commands. Only users at this
level can access the web GUI.
A system administrator (user with level 15) can create passwords that allow a
lower level user to temporarily become a higher level user. For example, the user
may go from level 1 to level 7, level 1 to 15, or level 7 to level 15.
The passwords for each level are set (by an administrator) using the following
command:
enable password [
encrypted-password}
Using these passwords, you can raise your user level by entering the command:
enable and the password for level 7 or 15. You can go from level 1 to level 7 or
directly to level 15. The higher level holds only for the current session.
The disable command returns the user to a lower level.
To create a user and assign it a user level, use the username command. Only users
with command level 15, can create users at this level.
1. Example 1—Create passwords for level 7 and 15 (by the administrator):
switchxxxxxx#configure
switchxxxxxx<config># enable password level 7 level7@abc
switchxxxxxx<config># enable password level 15
level15@abc
switchxxxxxx<config>#
Example 2—Create a user with user level 1:
switchxxxxxx#configure
switchxxxxxx<config> username john password john1234
