to provide the correct password.
Note that:
z Users logging into a switch also fall into four levels, each of which corresponds to
one of the command levels. Users at a specific level can only use the commands
at the same level and the commands at the lower levels.
z You can specify an AUX user to provide a password when he switches from a
lower user level to a higher user level and specify the password by using the
super password [ level level ] { simple | cipher } password command. With a
password configured, an AUX user remains in the original user level if the
password provided is incorrect when the AUX user attempts to switch to a higher
user level. If the password is not configured, an AUX user can switch to a higher
user level directly.
z A password is necessary for a VTY user to switch to a higher user level. You can
use the super password [ level level ] { simple | cipher } password command to
set the password. With the password not configured, a VTY user is prompted the
message reading Password is not set and remains in the previous level.
z An AUX user or a VTY user can switch to a lower user level directly regardless of
the password.
