Privilege Levels Overview
Limiting access to the system is one method of protecting the system and your network. However, at
times, you might need to allow others access to the router and you can limit that access to a subset of
commands. In Dell Networking OS, you can configure a privilege level for users who need limited access
to the system.
Every command in Dell Networking OS is assigned a privilege level of 0, 1, or 15. You can configure up to
16 privilege levels in Dell Networking OS. Dell Networking OS is pre-configured with three privilege levels
and you can configure 13 more. The three pre-configured levels are:
• Privilege level 1 — is the default level for EXEC mode. At this level, you can interact with the router,
for example, view some
show
commands and Telnet and ping to test connectivity, but you cannot
configure the router. This level is often called the “user” level. One of the commands available in
Privilege level 1 is the
enable
command, which you can use to enter a specific privilege level.
• Privilege level 0 — contains only the
end
,
enable
, and
disable
commands.
• Privilege level 15 — the default level for the
enable
command, is the highest level. In this level you
can access any command in Dell Networking OS.
Privilege levels 2 through 14 are not configured and you can customize them for different users and
access.
After you configure other privilege levels, enter those levels by adding the level parameter after the
enable
command or by configuring a user name or password that corresponds to the privilege level. For
more information about configuring user names, refer to Configuring a Username and Password .
By default, commands in Dell Networking OS are assigned to different privilege levels. You can access
those commands only if you have access to that privilege level. For example, to reach the
