Usage Guidelines
User level indicates the type of the login user. There are 16 user levels. Different from the use of command level, a login user can only use the commands with the levels no higher than the user level.
In order to prevent unauthorized users from illegal intrusion, user ID authentication is performed when users at a lower level switch to users at a higher level. In other word, the password of the higher level is needed. You can run the super password command to set the password for changing the user from a lower level to a higher level.
For the sake of confidentiality, the password the user inputs is not shown on the screen. The user can switch to the higher level only when inputting the correct password within three times. Otherwise, the original user level remains unchanged.
The password is a string of 8 to 16 case-sensitive characters.
The password must contain at least two of the following characters: upper-case character, lower-case character, digit, and special character. Special character except the question mark (?) and space.
Huawei switches use the combination of user name, password, and level to control users' operation rights. If you use the super command to switch user levels, this right control method will become invalid. Moreover, any user can use the super password of a higher level to obtain high-level operation rights. Therefore, you are not advised to use the super command to switch user levels.
