3.4.1 Three Levels of Security

A three (3) level security system on the 9145E10G controls all user interface and SNMPv3
access. The three access levels are supervisor, operator, and observer.

Most Service Provider management networks provision certain access levels to technicians, net-
work administrators, and managers. Offering different access levels to critical applications allows
network administrators to keep closer watch on the entire network.

All 9145E10G features require a certain access level for access. The logged in user or SNMPv3
manager’s access level is used to validate and control access to the 9145E10G features. When
accessing a menu item or an SNMP object the user’s access level is checked against the access
level required for the feature. If the user’s access level is sufficient, then the access is granted. If
the user’s access level is not sufficient, an error message is displayed in the status area or an
SNMP error is returned.
