Note that if you configure to authenticate the users in the password mode, the command level available
to users logging in to a switch depends on both the authentication-mode password and the user
privilege level level command, as listed in the following table.

Configuration Example
Network requirements
Assume the switch is configured to allow you to login through Telnet, and your user level is set to the
administrator level (level 3). After you telnet to the switch, you need to limit the Console user at the
following aspects.
z The user is authenticated against the local password when logging in through the Console port.
z The local password is set to 123456 (in plain text).
z The commands of level 2 are available to users logging in to the AUX user interface.
z The baud rate of the Console port is 19,200 bps.
z The screen can contain up to 30 lines.
z The history command buffer can store up to 20 commands.
z The timeout time of the AUX user interface is 6 minutes.
