Getting Started with CMS
Privilege Levels
CMS provides two levels of access to the configuration options: read-write access and read-only access.
If you know your privilege level, you must specify it in the URL that you use to access the cluster. For
example, if your privilege level is 13, enter this URL:
http://ip_address/level/13
Privilege levels 0 to 15 are supported.

•
•
If you do not specify a privilege level when you access CMS, the switch verifies whether you have
privilege level 15. If you do not, you are denied access to CMS. If you do have privilege level 15, you
are granted read-write access. Therefore, you do not need to include the privilege level if it is 15.
Entering zero denies access to CMS.
For more information about privilege levels, see the
section on page 8-1

bar, toolbar, and popup menus that change the switch or cluster configuration are not shown in
