User and Privilege Modes

This chapter describes how to use these two modes.

2.1 User And Privilege Modes

This is the mode you are in when you first log into the CLI. (Do not confuse ‘user mode’ with types of user accounts the ZyWALL uses. See Chapter 26 on page 229 for more information about the user types. ‘User’ type accounts can only run ‘exit’ in this mode. However, they may need to log into the device in order to be authenticated for ‘user-aware’ policies, for example a firewall rule that a particular user is exempt from or a VPN tunnel that only certain people may use.)

Type ‘enable’ to go to ‘privilege mode’. No password is required. All commands can be run from here except those marked with an asterisk. Many of these commands are for trouble-shooting purposes, for example the htm (hardware test module) and debug commands. Customer support may ask you to run some of these commands and send the results if you need assistance troubleshooting your device.

For admin logins, all commands are visible in ‘user mode’ but not all can be run there. The following table displays which commands can be run in ‘user mode’. All commands can be run in ‘privilege mode’.

The htm and psm commands are for ZyXEL’s internal manufacturing process.
