User Level
The system provides hierarchical management to HyperTerminal users and Telnet users.
The login user has the same 16 levels like the command. They are marked from 0 to15. The
higher the mark is, the higher the priority is.
A user can access the commands with the level equal to or smaller than the user level. For
example, if the user level is 2, the user can access the commands with the level 0, 1, or 2. The
user with the level 3 can access all the commands.
For details of command levels, refer to the chapter on "Command Line Introduction."
User Authentication
After the user configuration, the system authenticates users when they access the router.
The four types of user authentication are as follows:
z
Non-authentication: In this type, a user accesses the router without the username and
password. This is not recommended due to security reasons
z
Password authentication: In this type, a user accesses the router only with the password
rather than the username. This is safer when compared to non-authentication.
z
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) authentication: It supports local
authentication and remote authentication A user requires both the user name and
password to access the router in local authentication. The remote authentication scheme
cooperates with the AAA server, which authenticates PPP users commonly.
AAA local authentication authenticates the Telnet and HyperTerminal users.
User Planning
The network administrator provides the user plan based on the actual requirements.
z
At least one HyperTerminal user is created on a router
z
A Telnet user is created for remote access.
z
An FTP user uploads or downloads files on a router from the remote.
z
