Switching the user privilege level
Before switching to a higher user privilege level, obtain the required authentication data as described
in Table 8 .
When the level switching authentication mode is scheme, you have three opportunities to enter the
correct password for one switching operation.
When the level switching authentication mode is local, you have five opportunities to enter the correct
password for one switching operation. If you fail to provide the correct password during five consecutive
attempts, the switching operation fails. If the login authentication mode is scheme, you must wait 15
minutes before you can perform another switching operation.
To switch the user privilege level, perform the following task in user view:
Task Command Remarks

When logging in to the switch, a
user has a user privilege level,
which depends on user interface or
authentication user level.
When you switch the user privilege level, the information you must provide varies with combinations of
the user interface authentication mode and the super authentication mode.
For more information about user interface authentication, see "Logging in to the CLI."
