Operator Privileges
Operator privileges only allow you to examine the current configuration and
verify connectivity from the Exec level. A ">" character delimits the Operator
prompt. For example:
HP420>_ Operator prompt.
Manager Privileges
Manager privileges allow you to examine the current configuration, make
system configuration changes, and move between the three levels of access:
Exec, Global Configuration, and Context Configuration. (See figure 3-2.) A "#"
character delimits the Manager prompt. For example:
HP420#_ Manager prompt.
■ Exec level: Allows you to examine the current configuration, perform
basic system-level actions, reset the access point, and move to the config-
uration access levels. The prompt for the Exec level contains only the
system name and the "#" delimiter, as shown above.
■ Global Configuration level: Enables you to make configuration
changes to the access point’s software features. The prompt for the Global
Configuration level includes the system name and "(config)". To select
this level, enter the config command at the Exec prompt. For example:
HP420# _ Enter config at the Manager prompt.
HP420(config)#_ The Global Config prompt.
