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.

Moving a Command from EXEC Privilege Mode to EXEC

Mode

To move a command from EXEC Privilege to EXEC mode for a privilege level, use the privilege exec

command from CONFIGURATION mode.

In the command, specify the privilege level of the user or terminal line and specify all keywords in the

command to which you want to allow access.
