Users Guide

• 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 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.
Dell(conf)#username john privilege 8 password john
Dell(conf)#enable password level 8 notjohn
Dell(conf)#privilege exec level 8 configure
Dell(conf)#privilege config level 8 snmp-server

The following example shows the Telnet session for user john. The show privilege command output confirms that john is in privilege

server commands.
