z 

Manage level (level 3): Commands at this level are associated with the basic operation modules 

and support modules of the system. These commands provide support for services. Commands 

concerning file system, FTP/TFTP/XModem downloading, user management, and level setting are 

at this level. 

Users logged into the device fall into four user levels, which correspond to the four command levels 

respectively. Users at a specific level can only use the commands at the same level or lower levels. 

By default, the Console user (a user who logs into the device through the Console port) is a level-3 user, 

and Telnet users are level-0 users. 

After logging into the device, users can change their current user levels through a command. Note that: 

z 

If a switching password is set for a specific user level by the super password command, all users 

must enter the password correctly when they switch from lower user levels to this level (if a wrong 

password is entered, they will remain at their original levels).  

z 

If no switching password is set for a specific user level, the Console user can directly switch to the 

level, while the Telnet users at lower levels will fail to switch to the level (they will remain at their 

original levels) and the information like the following will be displayed: % Password is not set. 

Follow these steps to set a password for use level switching: 

Enter system view 

— 

Set the super password 
for user level switching 

super password [ level level ] 
{ cipher | simple } password 

Required 

By default, the super password is 
not set. 

 

Follow these steps to switch to a specific user level: 

Switch to a specified user level 

super [ level ] 

Required 

Execute this command in user view.

 

z 

If no user level is specified in the super password command or the super command, level 3 is 

used by default. 

z 

For security purpose, the password entered is not displayed when you switch to another user level. 

You will remain at the original user level if you have tried three times but failed to enter the correct 

password.
