Switching to privilege levels

You can switch to other privilege level temporarily without logging out or terminating the current connection.

After the switch, you can continue to configure the switch without the need of re login, but the commands that they can execute have changed.

For example, if your privilege level is 3, you can configure system parameters. After switching to privilege level 0, you can execute only some simple commands, like ping and tracert, and only a few display commands.

The switching operation is effective for the current login. After you re-log in, your privilege restores to the original level. 

  §            Set the authentication mode for user privilege level switch

                 [H3C]super authentication-mode { local | scheme } 

            

                 The authentication mode is local by default.

 

  §             Configure the password for user privilege level switch

             

                  [H3C]super password [ level user-level ] { simple | cipher } password 

           

                  This is required if the authentication mode is set to local

       (that is, specify the local keyword when setting the authentication mode).

                 

                   By default, no privilege level switch password is configured
