Parameter
level: User level, ranging from 1 to 3. The default value is 3, i.e. do not specify user level.
It means the password to be set is used for entering level 3.
simple: Configure to display the password in plain text.
cipher: Configure to display the password in encrypted 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 either be in
encrypted text or in plain text. The result is determined by the input. A plain text
password is a sequential character string of no more than 16 digits, for example,
huawei918. The length of an encrypted password must be 24 digits and in encrypted
text, for example, (TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.
Description
Using super password command, you can configure the password for changing the
user from a lower level to a higher level. In order 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. Only when correct password is input for three times, can
the user switch to the higher level. Otherwise, the original user level will remain
unchanged. Using undo super password command, you can cancel the current
settings.
The password in plain text is required when performing authentication, regardless
whether the configuration is plain text or encrypted text.
Example
# Configure the password to zbr for changing the user from the current level to level 3.
