5.5.2 Switching User Levels

If a user wants to upgrade from a lower level to a higher level after logging in to the router, a

password is required. The password needs to be configured in advance.

Context

To prevent an unauthorized user from using high-level commands, a password is required to

increase the user level.

Procedure

Step 1 Run:

system-view

The system view is displayed.

Step 2 Run:

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

The password for switching user levels is configured.

By default, the password for the user is set to Level 3.

CAUTION

If simple is configured, the password is saved in the configuration file in plain text. This means

that low-level login users can easily obtain and change the password by checking the

configuration file, compromising the network security. Therefore, selecting cipher to save the

password in the cipher text is recommended.

If cipher is used to set the password, the password cannot be obtained from the system. Save

the password to avoid oblivion or missing.

Step 3 Run:

quit

Return to the user view.
