Enabling Secured CLI Mode

The secured CLI mode prevents the users from enhancing the permissions or promoting the privilege levels.

• Enter the following command to enable the secured CLI mode:

CONFIGURATION Mode

secure-cli enable

After entering the command, save the running-conguration. Once you save the running-conguration, the secured CLI mode is enabled.

If you do not want to enter the secured mode, do not save the running-conguration. Once saved, to disable the secured CLI mode, you

need to manually edit the startup-conguration le and reboot the system.

You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage location.

The default is to log all messages up to debug level, that is, all system messages. By changing the severity level in the logging commands,

To specify the system logging settings, use the following commands.

• Specify the minimum severity level for logging to the logging buer.
