MAGNUM 6K SWITCHES, MNS-6K USER GUIDE
Some of the parameters in the Magnum 6K family of switches are shown above. The
list of parameters below indicates some of the key parameters on the switch and the
recommendations for changing them (or optionally keeping them the same).
Privilege levels
Two privilege levels are available - Manager and Operator. Operator is at privilege
level 1 and the Manager is at privilege level 2 (the privilege increases with the levels).
For example, to set up a user for basic monitoring capabilities use lower number or
operator level privilege (Level 1)
The Manager level provides all Operator level privileges plus the ability to
perform system-level actions and configuration commands. To select this level, enter
the ‘enable <user-name>’ command at the Operator level prompt and enter the
Manager password, when prompted.
Syntax enable <user-name>
For example, switching from an Operator level to manager level, using the ‘enable’
command is shown below in Figure 6

level.
Operator Privileges
Operator privileges allow views of the current configurations but do not allow
changes to the configuration. A ">" character delimits the Operator-level prompt.
Manager Privileges
Manager privileges allow configuration changes. The changes can be done at the
manager prompt or for global configuration as well as specific configuration. A “#”
character delimits any Manager prompt.
User management
A maximum of five users can be added per switch. Users can be added, deleted or
changed from a manager level account. There can be more than one manager
account, subject to the maximum number of users on the switch being restricted to
five.
