To do… Use the command… Remarks
Switch to a specified user
level
super [ level ]
Required
Execute this command in user view.
z If no user level is specified in the super password command or the super command, level 3 is
used by default.
z For security purpose, the password entered is not displayed when you switch to another user level.
You will remain at the original user level if you have tried three times but failed to enter the correct
authentication information.
Configuration examples
After a general user telnets to the switch, his/her user level is 0. Now, the network administrator wants to
allow general users to switch to level 3, so that they are able to configure the switch.
z The administrator configures the user level switching authentication policies.
# Set the password used by the current user to switch to level 3.
[Sysname] super password level 3 simple 123
z A VTY 0 user switches its level to level 3 after logging in.
# A VTY 0 user telnets to the switch, and then uses the set password to switch to user level 3.
<Sysname> super 3
Password:
User privilege level is 3, and only those commands can be used
whose level is equal or less than this.
Privilege note: 0-VISIT, 1-MONITOR, 2-SYSTEM, 3-MANAGE
# After configuring the switch, the general user switches back to user level 0.
<Sysname> super 0
User privilege level is 0, and only those commands can be used
whose level is equal or less than this.
Privilege note: 0-VISIT, 1-MONITOR, 2-SYSTEM, 3-MANAGE
CLI Views
CLI views are designed for different configuration tasks. They are both correlated and distinguishing.
For example, once a user logs into a switch successfully, the user enters user view, where the user can
perform some simple operations such as checking the operation status and statistics information of the
switch. After executing the system-view command, the user enters system view, where the user can go
to other views by entering corresponding commands.
Table 5-1 lists the CLI views provided by the 3com switch 4500, operations that can be performed in
different CLI views and the commands used to enter specific CLI views.
