After you configure other privilege levels, enter those levels by adding the level parameter after the enable
command or by configuring a user name or password that corresponds to the privilege level. For more
information about configuring user names, refer to
By default, commands in the Dell Networking OS 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, log in to the router, enter the enable command for privilege level 15 (this
privilege level is the default level for the command) and then enter CONFIGURATION mode.
You can configure passwords to control access to the box and assign different privilege levels to users. The
system 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.
