Setup Guide

3. Configure level and commands for a mode or reset a command’s level.
CONFIGURATION mode
privilege mode {level level command | reset command}
Configure the following required and optional parameters:
● mode: enter a keyword for the modes (exec, configure, interface, line, route-map, or router)
● level level: the range is from 0 to 15. Levels 0, 1, and 15 are pre-configured. Levels 2 to 14 are available for custom
configuration.
● command: an Dell EMC Networking OS CLI keyword (up to five keywords allowed).
● reset: return the command to its default privilege mode.
To view the configuration, use the show running-config command in EXEC Privilege mode.
The following example shows a configuration to allow a user john to view only EXEC mode commands and all snmp-server
commands. Because the snmp-server commands are enable level commands and, by default, found in CONFIGURATION
mode, also assign the launch command for CONFIGURATION mode, configure, to the same privilege level as the snmp-
server commands.
Line 1: The user john is assigned privilege level 8 and assigned a password.
Line 2: All other users are assigned a password to access privilege level 8.
Line 3: The configure command is assigned to privilege level 8 because it needs to reach CONFIGURATION mode where the
snmp-server commands are located.
Line 4: The snmp-server commands, in CONFIGURATION mode, are assigned to privilege level 8.
DellEMC(conf)#username john privilege 8 password john
DellEMC(conf)#enable password level 8 notjohn
DellEMC(conf)#privilege exec level 8 configure
DellEMC(conf)#privilege config level 8 snmp-server
DellEMC(conf)#end

The following example shows the Telnet session for user john. The show privilege command output confirms that john is in
privilege level 8. In EXEC Privilege mode, john can access only the commands listed. In CONFIGURATION mode, john can access
only the snmp-server commands.
