Configuring Privilege Levels

Privilege levels restrict access to commands based on user or terminal line.

There are 15 privilege levels, of which two are pre-defined. The default privilege level is 1.

• Level 1 — Access to the system begins at EXEC mode, and EXEC mode commands are limited to basic

commands, some of which are enable, disable, and exit.

• Level 15 — To access all commands, enter EXEC Privilege mode. Normally, enter a password to enter

this mode.
