By default, commands in FTOS are assigned to different privilege levels. You can access those commands
only if you have access to that privilege level. For example, to reach the
protocol spanning-tree
command,
you must log in to the router, enter the
enable
command for privilege level 15 (this is the default level for
the command) and then enter the CONFIGURATION mode.
You can configure passwords to control access to the box and assign different privilege levels to users.
FTOS supports the use of passwords when you log in to the system and when you enter the
enable
command. If you move between privilege levels, you are prompted for a password if you move to a higher
privilege level.
