Configure the password for user privilege level switch
super password [ level
{simple cipher } password
Required if the authentication mode is set to local.
By default, no privilege level switch password is configured.
CAUTION:
•If no user privilege level is specified when you configure the password for switching the user privilege level with the super password command, the user privilege level defaults to 3.
•Specifying the simple keyword saves the password in plain text, which is less secure than specifying the cipher keyword, which saves the password in cipher text.
•If the user logs in from the AUX user interface (the console port), the user can switch the privilege level to a higher level even if the authentication mode is local and no password for user privilege level switch is configured.
