All other sub-configuration modes can be accessed via global configuration mode.
When a user logs in to the Switch, the privilege level of the user determines the command mode the user
will enter after initially logging in. The user will either log into user EXEC mode or privileged EXEC mode.
Users with a basic user level will log into the Switch in user EXEC mode. Users with advanced user,
power user, operator or administrator level accounts will log into the Switch in privileged EXEC mode.
Therefore, user EXEC mode can operate at basic user level and privileged EXEC mode can operate at
advanced user, power user, operator or administrator level. The user can only enter global configuration
mode from privileged EXEC mode. Therefore, global configuration mode can be accessed by users who
have advanced user, power user, operator or administrator level user accounts. As for sub-configuration
modes, a subset of those can only be accessed by users who have the highest secure administrator
level privileges.
The following table briefly lists the available command modes. Only the basic command modes and some
of the sub-configuration modes are enumerated. The basic command modes and basic sub-configuration
modes are further described in the following chapters. Descriptions for the rest of the sub-configuration
modes are not provided in this section. For more information on the additional sub-configuration modes,
the user should refer to the chapters relating to these functions.
The available command modes and privilege levels are described below:
Command Mode & Privilege Level Purpose
User EXEC mode at Basic User level This level has the lowest priority of the user accounts. It
is provided only to check basic system settings.
Privileged EXEC mode at Advanced User
level This level is allowed to configure the terminal control
setting. This user account can only show limited
information that is not related to security.
Privileged EXEC mode at Power User level This level can execute less commands than operator,
include the configure commands other than the operator
level and administrator level commands.
Privileged EXEC mode at Operator level For changing both local and global terminal settings,
monitoring, and performing certain system
administration tasks. The system administration tasks
that can be performed at this level includes the clearing
of system configuration settings, except for any security
related information, such as user accounts, SNMP
account settings etc.
Privileged EXEC mode at Administrator
level This level is identical to privileged EXEC mode at power
user level, except that a user at the administrator level
can monitor and clear security related settings.
Global Configuration Mode at Power User
level For applying global settings, including the configuration
commands other than the operator level and
administrator level commands.
Global Configuration Mode at Operator
level For applying global settings, except for security related
settings, on the entire Switch. In addition to applying
global settings on the entire Switch, the user can access
other sub-configuration modes from global configuration
mode.
