User Accounts and Privileges
The router software supports three levels of privilege for users: USER,
MANAGER, and SECURITY OFFICER. By default, the router has one account
(manager) defined with manager privilege and the default password friend. The
commands that a user can execute depends on the user’s privilege level and
whether the router is operating in normal or security mode (see “Normal Mode
and Security Mode” on page 53). A USER level prompt looks like:
>
while a MANAGER prompt looks like:
Manager >
and a SECURITY OFFICER prompt looks like:
SecOff >
The MANAGER level has access to the full set of commands when the router is
in normal mode. When the router is operating in security mode, users with
MANAGER privilege cannot execute a subset of the commands known as the
security commands (see “Normal Mode and Security Mode” on page 53).
