Setting Privilege Levels and Passwords (Rpassword, Wpassword)
You can restrict access to the menus by setting privilege levels and pass-
words. Privilege levels are set from the Main Menu. Passwords are set
from the Configuration Console Menu.
There are three privilege levels contained in the Console Port:
n Logged Out Level (Off): Access denied to all sub-menus. Users are
only allowed access to the privilege and help options of the Main
Menu.
n Read-Only Level (Readonly): Read-only privileges for all sub-
menus. Only those commands that do not modify the configuration
may be used.
n Read-Write Level (Write): Allows users complete read and write
access to all sub-menus and options.
Keep in mind the following when setting Privilege Levels and Pass-
words:
n Only Read-Only and Read-Write privilege levels can be password
protected.
n You can always go from a higher privilege level to a lower privilege
level without a password. If you try to go to a higher privilege level,
you will be required to enter the password.
n Passwords are upper/lower case sensitive.
