Chapter 3 Command Line Interface
Authorization and Command Levels (Hierarchy)
SCE 1000 2xGBE Release 2.0.10 User Guide
3-2 OL-7117-02
• Command Hierarchy Level: Provides you with a context for initiating commands.
Commands are broken down into categories and you can only execute each command within
the context of its category. For example, in order to configure parameters related to the Line
Card, you need to be within the LineCard Interface Configuration Mode. See CLI Command
Hierarchy.
The following sections describe the available Authorization and Command Hierarchy Levels and
how to maneuver within them.
The on-screen prompt indicates both your authorization level and your command hierarchy level,
as well as the assigned host name. See Prompt Indications (on page 3-10).
Note
Throughout the manual, SCE 1000 is used as the sample host name.
CLI Authorization Levels
The SCE 1000 system has three authorization levels, which represent the user’s access
permissions. When you initially connect to the SCE 1000, you automatically have the most basic
authorization level, that is User, which allows minimum functionality.
In order to perform administrative functions on the SCE 1000, you must have Admin or Root
authorization, which means changing the level by logging in with an Admin or Root password, as
described in the procedure “To log in with Admin level authorization,” below. This manual covers
the functions that can be performed by the Admin level user.
The commands available in each authorization level are all the commands of the lower
authorization layers plus commands that are authorized only to this level.
Note
This manual covers the functions that can be performed by the Admin level user, unless otherwise
noted.
The following CLI commands are related to authorization levels:
• enable
• disable
Each authorization level has a value (number) corresponding to it. When using the CLI
commands, use the values, not the name of the level, as shown in the following table.
