FTOS Configuration Guide for the C-Series - Force10 Networks

Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose

privilege mode {level level
command | reset command}
To view the configuration, use the show running-config command in the EXEC privilege mode.
Figure 66 is an example of a configuration to allow a user “john” to view only the EXEC mode commands
and all snmp-server commands. Since the snmp-server commands are “enable” level commands and, by
default, found in the CONFIGURATION mode, you must also assign the launch command for the
CONFIGURATION mode, configure, to the same privilege level as the snmp-server commands.
Force10(conf)#username john privilege 8 password john
Force10(conf)#enable password level 8 notjohn
Force10(conf)#privilege exec level 8 configure
Force10(conf)#privilege config level 8 snmp-server
Force10(conf)#end
Force10#show running-config

Figure 66 Configuring a Custom Privilege Level
CONFIGURATION Configure level and commands for a mode
or reset a command’s level. Configure the
following required and optional parameters:
• mode: Enter a keyword for the modes
(exec, configure, interface, line,
route-map, router)
• level level range: 0 to 15. Levels 0, 1 and
15 are pre-configured. Levels 2 to 14 are
available for custom configuration.
• command: A FTOS CLI keyword (up to 5
keywords allowed).
• reset: Return the command to its default
privilege mode.
The user john is assigned privilege
level 8 and assigned a password.
All other users are assigned a
password to access privilege level 8
The command configure is assigned
to privilege level 8 since it is needed
to reach the CONFIGURATION
mode where the snmp-server
commands are located.
The snmp-server commands, in the
CONFIGURATION mode, are
assigned to privilege level 8.
