Chapter 1

Using the CLI

Security Levels

There are four security access levels (modes) – User, Privileged, Configure and Supervisor.

The User mode is a general access level used to show system parameter values.

The Privileged mode is used by site personnel to access switch configuration options.

The Configure mode is used by site personnel for Layer 3 configuration.

The Supervisor mode is used to define user names, passwords, and access levels of up to 10 local users.

A login name and password are always required to access the CLI and the commands. The login names and passwords, and security levels are established using the username command.

Switching between the entities, does not effect the security level since security levels are established specifically for each user. For example, if the operator with a privileged security level in the Switch entity switches to the Router entity the privileged security level is retained.

Entering the Supervisor Level

The Supervisor level is the level in which you first enter Cajun Campus CLI and establish user names for up to 10 local users. When you enter the Supervisor level, you are asked for a Login name. Type root as the Login name and the default password root (in lowercase letters):

Welcome to C460

Password:****

Password accepted.

C460-1(super)#

Defining new users

Define new users and access levels using the username command in Supervisor Level.

Exiting the Supervisor Level

To exit the Supervisor level, type the command exit.
