Parameters
level: User level in the range of 0 to 3. The default is 3.
Usage guidelines
If a level is not specified, the command switches the user privilege level to 3.
There are four user privilege levels: visit (0), monitor (1), system (2), and manage (3). You can assign
different privilege levels for different users. After login, a user can access the commands at or under the
assigned level.
A user can switch to a lower privilege level unconditionally. To switch to a higher privilege level, a user
must provide the password set for the level with the super password command. If the entered password
is incorrect, the switching operation fails. If no password is configured for the level, a console user can
switch to the level but other users cannot.
When the login authentication method is scheme, a user who fails to provide the correct password
during five consecutive attempts must wait 15 minutes before trying again. Trying again before the
15-minute period elapses restores the wait timer to 15 minutes and restarts the timer.
Examples
# Switch to user privilege level 2 from user privilege level 3.
<Sysname> super 2
User privilege level is 2, and only those commands can be used
whose level is equal or less than this.
Privilege note: 0-VISIT, 1-MONITOR, 2-SYSTEM, 3-MANAGE
# Switch back to user privilege level 3. (Suppose that the switching password is 123. If no password is set,
users cannot switch to user privilege level 3.)
<Sysname> super 3
Please input the password to change the privilege level, press CTRL_C to abort.
