| password [encryption-type] password Secret]
Configure the optional and required parameters:
• name: Enter a text string up to 63 characters(maximum) long.

• privilege level: The range is from 0 to 15.

• encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
• password: Enter a string. Specify the password for the user.

2. Configure a password for privilege level.
CONFIGURATION mode

Configure the optional and required parameters:
• level level: specify a level from 0 to 15. Level 15 includes all levels.
• encryption-type: enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
• password: enter a string up to 32 characters long.
To change only the password for the enable command, configure only the password parameter.
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 Networking OS CLI keyword (up to five keywords allowed).
• reset: return the command to its default privilege mode.
Examples of Privilege Level Commands
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.
