DGS-1520 Series Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch CLI Reference Guide User EXEC Mode at Basic User Level This command mode is mainly designed for checking basic system settings. This command mode can be entered by logging in as a basic user. Privileged EXEC Mode at Operator Level Users logged into the Switch in privileged EXEC mode at this level can change both local and global terminal settings, monitor, and perform system administration tasks (except for security related information). The method to enter privileged EXEC mode at operator level is to log into the Switch with a user account that has a privilege level of 12. Privileged EXEC Mode at Administrator Level This command mode has a privilege level of 15. Users logged in with this command mode can monitor all system information and change any system configuration settings mentioned in this Configuration Guide. The method to enter privileged EXEC mode at administrator level is to log into the Switch with a user account that has a privilege level of 15. Global Configuration Mode The primary purpose of the global configuration mode is to apply global settings to the entire switch. The global configuration mode can be accessed through advanced user, power user, operator or administrator level user accounts. However, security related settings are not accessible through advanced user, power user or operator user accounts. In addition to applying global settings to the entire switch, the user can also access other subconfiguration modes. In order to access the global configuration mode, the user must be logged in with the corresponding account level and use the configure terminal command in the privileged EXEC mode. In the following example, the user is logged in as an Administrator in the Privileged EXEC Mode and uses the configure terminal command to access the Global Configuration Mode: Switch#configure terminal Switch(config)# The exit command is used to exit the global configuration mode and return to the privileged EXEC mode. Switch(config)#exit Switch# The procedures to enter the different sub-configuration modes can be found in the related chapters in this Configuration Guide. The command modes are used to configure the individual functions. Interface Configuration Mode Interface configuration mode is used to configure the parameters for an interface or a range of interfaces. An interface can be a physical port, VLAN, or other virtual interface. Thus, interface configuration mode is distinguished further according to the type of interface. The command prompt for each type of interface is slightly different. Creating a User Account You can create different user account for various levels. This section will assist a user with creating a user account by means of the Command Line Interface. NOTE: By default, one user account is already configured on the Switch. Both the username and password for this account is admin, and the privilege level is 15. 4
