32.6 Changing the Password
This command is used to change the password for Enable mode. By default the same password
is used to enter the command line interface (CLI) and Enable and Config modes of the CLI.
The password you change with this command is required to enter Enable and Config modes of
the CLI.
Syntax:
password <password>

32.7 Account Privilege Levels
You can use a command whose privilege level is equal to or less than that of your login
account. For example, if your login account has a privilege level of 12, you can use all
commands with privilege levels from 0 to 12. 0-privileged commands are available to all login
accounts.
Note: If you use an external RADIUS server to authenticate users, you can use a
VSA (Vendor Specific Attribute) to configure a privilege level for an account on
the RADIUS server.
32.8 Command Modes
There are three command modes: User, Enable and Configure. The modes (and commands)
available to you depend on what level of privilege your account has. Use the
logins
username
command in Configure mode to set up accounts and privilege levels.
When you first log into the command interpreter with a read-only account (having a privilege
of 0 to 12), the initial mode is User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of the
Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>).
