first using write memory, all changes made since the last reboot or write memory
(whichever is later) will be lost. For more on switch memory and saving
configuration changes, see appendix C, "Switch Memory and Configuration".
Privilege Levels at Logon
Privilege levels control the type of access to the CLI. To implement this
control, you must set at least a Manager password. Without a Manager
password configured, anyone having serial port, Telnet, or web browser
access to the switch can reach all CLI levels. (For more on setting passwords,
see "Using Password Security" on page 7-4.)
When you use the CLI to log on to the switch, and passwords are set, you will
be prompted to enter a password. For example:
Figure 3-1. Example of CLI Log-On Screen with Password(s) Set
In the above case, you will enter the CLI at the level corresponding to the
password you provide (operator or manager).
If no passwords are set when you log onto the CLI, you will enter at the
Manager level. For example:
