Switch Management
This chapter explains the different protocols or services used to manage the S5000 switch.
Configuring Privilege Levels
Privilege levels restrict access to commands based on user or terminal line.
There are 16 privilege levels, of which three are pre-defined. The default privilege level is 1.
Level Description
Level 1 Access to the system begins at EXEC mode, and EXEC mode commands are limited to
enable, disable, and exit.
Level 15 Access to the system begins at EXEC Privilege mode, and all commands are available.
Creating a Custom Privilege Level
Custom privilege levels start with the default EXEC mode command set. You can then customize privilege
levels 2 through 14 by:
• restricting access to an EXEC mode command
• moving commands from EXEC Privilege to EXEC mode
• allowing access to CONFIGURATION mode commands
• allowing access to INTERFACE, LINE, ROUTE-MAP, and ROUTER mode commands
A user can access all commands at his privilege level and below.
Removing a Command from EXEC
Mode
To remove a command from the list of available commands in EXEC mode for a specific privilege level, use
the privilege exec command from CONFIGURATION mode.
In the command, specify a level greater than the level given to a user or terminal line, then the first keyword
of each command you wish to restrict.
