DGS-3130 Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switch CLI Reference Guide 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 the Privileged EXEC Mode.  Users with a basic user level will log into the Switch in the User EXEC Mode.  Users with advanced user, power-user, operator or administrator level accounts will log into the Switch in the Privileged EXEC Mode. Therefore, the User EXEC Mode can operate at a basic user level and the Privileged EXEC Mode can operate at the advanced user, power-user, operator, or administrator levels. The user can only enter the Global Configuration Mode from the Privileged EXEC Mode. The Global Configuration Mode can be accessed by users who have 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 / Basic User level Privileged EXEC Mode / Advanced User level Privileged EXEC Mode / Power User level Privileged EXEC Mode / Operator level Privileged EXEC Mode / Administrator level Global Configuration Mode / Operator level Global Configuration Mode / Administrator level Interface Configuration Mode / Administrator level VLAN Interface Configuration Mode This level has the lowest priority of the user accounts. It is provided only to check basic system settings. This level is allowed to configure the terminal control setting. This user account can only show limited information that is not related to security. This level can execute less commands than operator, including the 'config' commands other than the operator level and administrator level commands. For changing local and global terminal settings, monitoring, and performing certain system administration tasks. Except for security related information, this level can perform system administration tasks. This level is identical to privileged EXEC mode at the operator level, except that a user at the administrator level can monitor and clear security related settings. 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. For applying global 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. For applying interface related settings. For applying VLAN interface related settings. 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. 3
