Configuring Privileges for a User

 

 

 

 

Configuring Privileges for a User

To configure privileges for a user, enter the user command with the read-onlyor read-writeoption and the desired CLI command domain names or command family names. The read-onlyoption provides access to show commands; the read-writeoption provides access to configuration commands and show commands. Command families are subsets of command domains.

If you create a user without specifying any privileges, the user’s account will be configured with the privi- leges specified for the default user account.

Command domains and families are listed here:

Domain

Corresponding Families

domain-admin

file telnet dshell debug

 

 

domain-system

system aip snmp rmon webmgt config

 

 

domain-physical

chassis module interface pmm health

 

 

domain-network

ip rip ospf vrrp ip-routing ipms

 

 

domain-layer2

vlan bridge stp 802.1q linkagg ip-helper

 

 

domain-service

dns

 

 

domain-policy

qos policy

 

 

domain-security

session avlan aaa

 

 

In addition to command families, the keywords all or none may be used to set privileges for all command families or no command families respectively.

An example of setting up user privileges:

-> user thomas read-write domain-network ip-helper telnet

User thomas will have write access to all the configuration commands and show commands in the network domain, as well as Telnet and IP helper (DHCP relay) commands. The user will not be able to execute any other commands on the switch.

Use the keyword all to specify access to all commands. In the following example, the user is given read access to all commands:

-> user lindy read-only all

Note. When modifying an existing user, the user password is not required. If you are configuring a new user with privileges, the password is required.

The default user privileges may also be modified. See “Default User Settings” on page 7-7.

Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions offers the OmniSwitch series, renowned for its robust capabilities in delivering high-performance networking solutions tailored for a variety of enterprise and service provider environments. The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. These features collectively enhance the security posture of the network, protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network resources.

The OmniSwitch is also designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. Features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure that network uptime is maximized and that failover is swift in the event of a hardware failure. This makes it a viable option for organizations that cannot afford downtime.

In addition to these features, Alcatel's OmniSwitch series comes equipped with a user-friendly management interface. This interface simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of the network, making it accessible even to those with limited networking expertise. Through intuitive dashboards and support for SNMP, administrators can manage their networks effectively.

In conclusion, Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions' OmniSwitch series offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the needs of modern networks. With its blend of performance, scalability, security, and ease of management, the OmniSwitch stands out as a preferred choice for businesses seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure.
