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.
Creating a Custom Privilege Level
Custom privilege levels start with the default EXEC mode command set.
You can then customize privilege levels 2-14 by:
● removing commands from the EXEC mode commands
● moving commands from EXEC Privilege mode to EXEC mode
● allowing access to CONFIGURATION mode commands
● allowing access to INTERFACE, LINE, ROUTE-MAP, and ROUTER mode commands
You can access all commands at your privilege level and below.
