User accounts can be used to protect access to the command-line interface. The user can create several user accounts with different access-levels. Creating User Accounts with Different Privilege Levels Creating User Accounts The Switch supports user accounts with different access levels. The following access levels can be assigned to user accounts, Level 1, Level 2, Level 12, & Level 15. If another level is specified, an error message will be displayed on the console. When a user logs in with a Level 1 or Level 2 account, the user will access the Switch in user EXEC mode. In order to access higher privilege levels, a user needs to use the enable command. However, if a user logs onto the Switch using a Level 1 user account, they will not be allowed to enter privileged EXEC mode. When a user logs in with a user account that has a privilege level of 12 or 15, the user will directly enter privileged EXEC mode. DGS-6600 Configuration Guide 59
