Management

Management is supported on the Dell Networking MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.

This chapter describes the dierent protocols or services used to manage the Dell Networking system.

Conguring Privilege Levels

Privilege levels restrict access to commands based on user or terminal line.

There are 15 privilege levels, of which two are pre-dened. The default privilege level is 1.

• Level 1 — Access to the system begins at EXEC mode, and EXEC mode commands are limited to basic commands, some of

which are enable, disable, and exit.

• Level 15 — To access all commands, enter EXEC Privilege mode. Normally, enter a password to enter this mode.

Creating a Custom Privilege Level

Custom privilege levels start with the default EXEC mode command set.

You can then customize privilege levels 2-14 by:

• removing commands from the EXEC mode commands

• moving commands from EXEC Privilege mode to EXEC mode

• allowing access to CONFIGURATION mode commands

• allowing access to INTERFACE, LINE, ROUTE-MAP, and ROUTER mode commands

You can access all commands at your privilege level and below.

Moving a Command from EXEC Privilege Mode to EXEC Mode

Remove a command from the list of available commands in EXEC mode for a specic privilege level using the privilege exec

command from CONFIGURATION mode. In the command, specify a level greater than the level given to a user or terminal line, then

the rst keyword of each restricted command.

Moving a Command from EXEC Privilege Mode to EXEC Mode

Move a command from EXEC Privilege to EXEC mode for a privilege level using the privilege exec command from

CONFIGURATION mode. In the command, specify the privilege level of the user or terminal line, and specify

all keywords in the

command to which you want to allow access.

Allowing Access to CONFIGURATION Mode Commands

Allow access to CONFIGURATION mode using the privilege exec level level command congure from

CONFIGURATION mode. A user that enters CONFIGURATION mode remains at his privilege level, and has access to only two

commands, end and exit. Individually specify each CONFIGURATION mode command to which you want to allow access using the

privilege configure level level command. In the command, specify the privilege level of the user or terminal line, and

specify all keywords in the command to which you want to allow access.
