Parameter
level: Command level, in the range of 0 to 3. view: Command view. It can be any command view that the S3900 series Ethernet switches support. command: Command to be set.

Description

Use the undo command-privilege view command to restore the default level of the specified command in specified view. All commands fall into four levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, which are identified as 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

By default, the ping, tracert, and telnet commands are at the visit level (level 0), the display and debugging commands are at the monitor level (level 1), all configuration commands are at the system level (level 2), and FTP, XModem, TFTP and file system related commands are at the manage level (level 3).

Note that:

Users logging in to a switch also fall into four levels, which respectively correspond to the command levels. Users at a specific level can only use the commands at the same or lower levels.

AUX users can determine whether to use the super password [ level level ] { simple | cipher } password command to set a password for the switching from a lower user level to a higher user level. If a password is set, AUX users must enter the password correctly when switching from the current level to a higher level. Otherwise, they will remain at the original user level. If no password is set, they will directly switch from the current user level to a higher user level.

VTY users must use the super password [ level level ] { simple | cipher } password command to set a password for the switching from a lower user level to a higher user level. If no password is set, Password is not set will be displayed when they switch the user level, indicating that the switching fails and they remain at the original user level.

AUX users or VTY users can switch from a higher user level to a lower user level, no matter whether a switching password is set.

Related command: super password.

Example
# Switch to user level 3.
<Quidway> super 3 Password:

1.1.4 super password

Syntax
super password [ level level ] { simple | cipher } password undo super password [ level level ]

the password in either cipher text or plain text. In plain text mode, the password contains up to 16 characters (for example 123) and the system automatically converts it into a 24-character ciphered password (for example, !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!). In cipher text mode, you can directly provide a 24-character ciphered password (for example, !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!), but you must know the corresponding plain password (for example, 123).

Description
Use the super password command to set a password for a higher level user who is switched from a lower user level. To prevent unauthorized accesses, the system requires you to enter the password for the higher level user. For the purpose of security, you cannot see the password you enter. You will remain at the original user level if you fail to enter the correct password after you have tried more than three times. Use the undo super password command to remove the configuration. Note that no matter whether you configure the password in plain text or cipher text, you must enter the password in plain text for authentication.

Example
# Set the password to zbr for the switching from the current user level to user level 3.
<Quidway> system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. [Quidway] super password level 3 simple zbr
