8-4 July 2004 Wide Bank 28 DS3 - Release 2.4
Security Levels
To prevent unauthorized access to the network, users can be assigned security levels. The levels
available depend on whether you use the Wide Bank’s basic security feature or whether the Wide
Bank is equipped with the Security Upgrade option. See Security on page 1-5 for an overview of
basic security and the Security Upgrade option.
Basic Security
With basic security, there are three security levels:
 admin – The admin user has access to all commands and has the sole authority to grant
others access to the system by adding and deleting user names and passwords. There can
be only one admin user (always named “admin”) within the system.
 rw (read/write) – An rw user has access to all commands except those for adding users,
deleting users, and setting user levels. The rw users are typically responsible for the day-
to-day operation of the system.
 ro (read only) – An ro user is limited to commands that display status and reports. The
ro access level permits technicians to monitor system operation and performance, but
prevents them from altering settings.
Security Upgrade Option
With the Security Upgrade option, there are four security levels:
 secu – The secu user has access to all commands and has the sole authority to grant others
access to the system by adding and deleting user names and passwords. The secu user
also has sole authority to perform such functions as clearing all statistics and logs,
configuring IP settings, restoring factory default or previously saved configurations, and
configuring the TL1 interface. There can be only one secu user (always named
“security”) within the system.
 admin – An admin user has access to all commands except those assigned exclusively to
the secu user. Functions available to the admin user that are not available to lower-level
users include clearing DS1 and DS3 statistics, copying a configuration from the active to
standby Controller, setting the system time and date, programming the flash memory,
saving a configuration to a TFTP server file, setting various security functions,
configuring SNMP, and copying the current configuration to temporary storage.
 rw (read/write) – An rw user has access to all commands except those assigned
exclusively to the secu and admin users. The rw users are typically responsible for the
day-to-day operation of the system.
 ro (read only) – An ro user is limited to commands that display status and reports. The
ro access level permits technicians to monitor system operation and performance, but
prevents them from altering settings.
