Some of the parameters in the MultiLink family of switches are shown above. The list of
parameters below indicates some of the key parameters on the switch and the
recommendations for changing them (or optionally keeping them the same).
1.4.7
Privilege Levels
Two privilege levels are available - manager and operator. Operator is at privilege level 1
and the manager is at privilege level 2 (the privilege increases with the levels). For example,
to set up a user for basic monitoring capabilities use lower number or operator level
privilege (level 1).
The Manager level provides all operator level privileges plus the ability to perform system-
level actions and configuration commands. To select this level, enter the
enable <user-
name>
command at the Operator level prompt and enter the Manager password, when
prompted.
enable <user-name>
For example, switching from an operator-level to manager-level, using the
enable
command is shown below.
ML810>
enable manager
Password: *******
ML810#
Note the prompt changes with the new privilege level.
Operator privileges allow views of the current configurations but do not allow changes to
the configuration. A “>” character delimits the operator-level prompt.
Manager privileges allow configuration changes. The changes can be done at the
manager prompt or for global configuration as well as specific configuration. A “#”
character delimits any manager prompt.
1.4.8
User Management
A maximum of five users can be added per switch. Users can be added, deleted or
changed from a manager level account. There can be more than one manager account,
subject to the maximum number of users on the switch being restricted to five.
To add a user, use the
add
command as shown below. The user name has to be a unique
name. The password is recommended to be at least 8 characters long with a mix of upper
case, lower case, numbers and special characters.
add user=<name> level=<number>
The following example adds a user “peter” with manager-level privilege:
ML810#
user
ML810(user)##
add user=peter level=2
Enter User Password:******
Confirm New Password:******
ML810(user)##
To delete a user, use the
delete
command as shown below.
delete user=<name>
