• Port Configuration level gives access to:

The User EXEC and Privileged EXEC levels

The port-specific parts of the CONFIG level

All interface configuration levels

• Read Only level gives access to:

You can grant additional access to a privilege level on an individual command basis. To grant the

command, and the individual command.
