Parameter
level:
Enter a user level in the range 1 to 3. The default is 3. The password you
enter is set for the specified level.
cipher: Configure to display the password in encrypted text.
simple: Configure to display the password in plain text.
password
: If the authentication is in the simple mode, the password must be in
plain text. If the authentication is in the
cipher mode, the password can be either
in encrypted text or in plain text. If a plain text password is entered when cipher
mode has been selected, the password will be displayed in the configuration
settings as encrypted. A plain text password is a sequential character string of no
more than 16 digits, for example, 3Com918. The length of an encrypted password
must be 24 digits and in encrypted text, for example,
_(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.
Description
Use the super password command to configure the password for changing the
user from a lower level to a higher level. To prevent unauthorized users from illegal
intrusion, user ID authentication is performed when users switch from a lower
level to a higher level. For the sake of confidentiality, on the screen the user cannot
see the password that he entered. The user has three chances to input valid
password, and then switch to the higher level. Otherwise, the original user level
will remain unchanged. Use the
undo super password command to cancel the
password settings.
The password in plain text is required when performing authentication, regardless
of whether
the configuration is plain text or encrypted text.
Example
To set the password for level 3 to zbr, type the following:
<SW5500>system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
