Configuring Custom Privilege Levels
In addition to assigning privilege levels to the user, you can configure the privilege levels of commands so
that they are visible in different privilege levels.
Within the Dell Networking OS, commands have certain privilege levels. With the privilege command,
you can change the default level or you can reset their privilege level back to the default.
• Assign the launch keyword (for example, configure) for the keyword’s command mode.
• If you assign only the first keyword to the privilege level, all commands beginning with that keyword
are also assigned to the privilege level. If you enter the entire command, the software assigns the
privilege level to that command only.
To assign commands and passwords to a custom privilege level, use the following commands. You must
be in privilege level 15.
1. Assign a user name and password.
CONFIGURATION mode
username name [access-class access-list-name] [privilege level] [nopassword
| password [encryption-type] password]
Configure the optional and required parameters:
• name: enter a text string (up to 63 characters).
• access-class access-list-name: enter the name of a configured IP ACL.
• privilege level: the range is from 0 to 15.
• nopassword: do not require the user to enter a password.
• encryption-type: enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
• password: enter a string.
2. Configure a password for privilege level.
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 25 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.
