You can set user access rights to commands and command modes using privilege levels.
For more information about privilege levels and security options, refer to the Privilege Levels Overview section in the Security chapter.
The Dell Networking OS CLI is divided into three major mode levels:
• EXEC mode is the default mode and has a privilege level of 1, which is the most restricted level. Only a limited selection of commands is
available, notably the show commands, which allow you to view system information.
• EXEC Privilege mode has commands to view congurations, clear counters, manage conguration les, run diagnostics, and enable or
disable debug operations. The privilege level is 15, which is unrestricted. You can congure a password for this mode; refer to the
Congure the Enable Password section in the Getting Started chapter.
• CONFIGURATION mode allows you to congure security features, time settings, set logging and SNMP functions, congure static ARP
and MAC addresses, and set line cards on the system.
Beneath CONFIGURATION mode are submodes that apply to interfaces, protocols, and features. The following example shows the
submode command structure. Two sub-CONFIGURATION modes are important when conguring the chassis for the rst time:
• INTERFACE submode is the mode in which you congure Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols and IP services specic to an interface. An
interface can be physical (Management interface, 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 25 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, 50
Gigabit Ethernet, or 100 Gigabit Ethernet) or logical (Loopback, Null, port channel, or virtual local area network [VLAN]).
• LINE submode is the mode in which you to congure the console and virtual terminal lines.
NOTE: At any time, entering a question mark (?) displays the available command options. For example, when you are in
CONFIGURATION mode, entering the question mark rst lists all available commands, including the possible submodes.
