can switch to a higher level temporarily; when the administrators need to leave for a while or ask 

someone else to manage the device temporarily, they can switch to a lower privilege level before they 

leave to restrict the operation by others. 

The high-to-low user level switching is unlimited. However, the low-to-high user level switching requires 

the corresponding authentication. Generally, two authentication modes are available: the super 

password authentication mode and HWTACACS authentication mode. 

Complete the following tasks to configure user level switching: 

Task 

Remarks 

Specifying the authentication mode for user level 
switching 

Optional 

Adopting super password authentication for user level 
switching 

Required 

The administrator 
configures the user level 
switching authentication 
policies 

Adopting HWTACACS authentication for user level 
switching 

Required 

The user switches user 
level after logging in 

Switching to a specific user level 

Required 

 

Specifying the authentication mode for user level switching 

The low-to-high user level switching requires the corresponding authentication. The super password 

authentication mode and HWTACACS authentication mode are available at the same time to provide 

authentication redundancy. 

The configuration of authentication mode for user level switching is performed by Level-3 users 

(administrators). 

Follow these steps to specify the authentication mode for user level switching:
