Using DNS Services
About DNS Services The chassis must be told where to locate Domain Name Servers (DNS) so that it can
contact these servers. The chassis uses these servers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
Setting Administrative Roles
About Roles and Privileges Roles allow granular levels of privileges. The system combines multiple roles
with read and read-write access for flexible control. These roles are enforced with the CLI.
The unrestricted administrator (super) is responsible for assigning these roles. Network administrators are
given read-only and read-write access to each of the three network types.
Understanding Permission Levels The following table displays the different access-levels.
Changing Privilege Access-Levels
Step 1. Log in as the unrestricted user.
Only a user with unrestricted permissions may create and modify user accounts.
