CONFIGURATION mode enable password [level level] [encryption-mode] password Configure the optional and required parameters: • level level: specify a level from 0 to 15. Level 15 includes all levels. • encryption-type: enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text. • password: enter a string up to 32 characters long. To change only the password for the enable command, configure only the password parameter. 3 Configure level and commands for a mode or reset a command's level. CONFIGURATION mode privilege mode {level level command | reset command} Configure the following required and optional parameters: • mode: enter a keyword for the modes (exec, configure, interface, line, route-map, or router) • level level: the range is from 0 to 15. Levels 0, 1, and 15 are pre-configured. Levels 2 to 14 are available for custom configuration. • command: an Dell Networking OS CLI keyword (up to five keywords allowed). • reset: return the command to its default privilege mode. Examples of Privilege Level Commands To view the configuration, use the show running-config command in EXEC Privilege mode. The following example shows a configuration to allow a user john to view only EXEC mode commands and all snmp-server commands. Because the snmp-server commands are enable level commands and, by default, found in CONFIGURATION mode, also assign the launch command for CONFIGURATION mode, configure, to the same privilege level as the snmp-server commands. Line 1: The user john is assigned privilege level 8 and assigned a password. Line 2: All other users are assigned a password to access privilege level 8. Line 3: The configure command is assigned to privilege level 8 because it needs to reach CONFIGURATION mode where the snmpserver commands are located. Line 4: The snmp-server commands, in CONFIGURATION mode, are assigned to privilege level 8.
