Assigning Permanent Passwords
The CLI contains the following access levels:
•
EXEC at the User level – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view
some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.
•
EXEC at the Privileged level – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.
You can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system configuration to flash, and
clear caches at this level.
•
CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system’s IP address and configure
switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged
level of the EXEC mode.
By default, there are no CLI passwords. To secure CLI access, you must assign passwords. See “Securing
Access to Management Functions” on page 3-1 for more information.
NOTE:
You must use the CLI to assign a password. You cannot assign a password using the IronView SNMP
application or the Web management interface.
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:
•
Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE:
You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.
•
Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide)
parameters.
•
Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.
