Configuring user privilege and command levels

Introduction

To avoid unauthorized access, the device defines user privilege levels and command levels. User

privilege levels correspond to command levels. When a user at a specific privilege level logs in, the user
can only use commands at that level, or lower levels.
All the commands are categorized into four levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, and are identified

from low to high, respectively by 0 through 3.

Table 5

describes the command levels.

Level Privilege Description

0 Visit

Involves commands for network diagnosis and commands for accessing an
external device. Configuration of commands at this level cannot survive a device

restart. Upon device restart, the commands at this level will be restored to the

default settings.
Commands at this level include ping, tracert, and telnet.

1 Monitor

Involves commands for system maintenance and service fault diagnosis.
Commands at this level are not allowed to be saved after being configured. After
the device is restarted, the commands at this level will be restored to the default

settings.
Commands at this level include debugging, terminal, refresh, and send.

2 System

Provides service configuration commands, including routing configuration
commands and commands for configuring services at different network levels.
By default, commands at this level include all configuration commands except for
those at manage level.

3 Manage

Involves commands that influence the basic operation of the system and
commands for configuring system support modules.
By default, commands at this level involve the configuration commands of file

system, FTP, TFTP, Xmodem download, user management, level setting, and
parameter settings within a system (which are not defined by any protocols or

RFCs).

Configuring a user privilege level
