Chapter 2 Getting Started with CMS Accessing CMS Access Modes in CMS CMS provides two levels of access to the configuration options: read-write access and read-only access. Privilege levels 0 to 15 are supported. • Privilege level 15 provides you with read-write access to CMS. • Privilege levels 1 to 14 provide you with read-only access to CMS. Any options in the CMS windows, menu bar, toolbar, and popup menus that change the switch or cluster configuration are not shown in read-only mode. • Privilege level 0 denies access to CMS. If you do not include a privilege level when you access CMS, the switch verifies if you have privilege-level 15. If you do not, you are denied access to CMS. If you do have privilege-level 15, you are granted read-write access. Therefore, you do not need to include the privilege level if it is 15. Entering zero denies access to CMS. For more information about privilege levels, see the "Changing the Password" section on page 6-10. Note • If your cluster has these member switches running earlier software releases and if you have read-only access to these member switches, some configuration windows for those switches display incomplete information: - Catalyst 2950 member switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier - Catalyst 2950 member switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier - Catalyst 3550 member switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EA1 or earlier For more information about this limitation, refer to the Catalyst 2950 release notes. • These switches do not support read-only mode on CMS: - Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 - Catalyst 2900 XL switches with 4-MB CPU DRAM In read-only mode, these switches appear as unavailable devices and cannot be configured from CMS. 78-11380-03 Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide 2-31
