Configuring User Privilege Levels and Command Levels
Introduction
To restrict the different users’ access to the device, the system manages the users by their privilege
levels. User privilege levels correspond to command levels. After users at different privilege levels log in,
they can only use commands at their own, or lower, levels. All the commands are categorized into four
levels, which are visit, monitor, system, and manage from low to high, and identified respectively by 0
through 3. Table 1-3 describes the levels of the commands.
