There are 15 levels of privilege. Is there any list to find out what level provides what right? I looked into CCO, but no specific thing.

Thanks

Hi Abbas,

The privilege commands depends on the IOS versions.And the list of commands is a huge one.Better u can use ? and see for each privilege.

This Privilege option is used mainly for restrict the access of commands

Hello Abbas,

Actually there are 3 default levels of privilege on the router: 0, 1 & 15. Level 2-14 are user defined. Level 2-14 inherits all the level 0 & 1 commands.

Level 15: all commands are allowed

Level 1: all the user mode command

Level 0: only 5 commands: disable, enable, exit, help, and logout

Here is the link that has explaination of this:

If you want to know how to assign level 15 commands to level 2-14 locally on the router, you can refer to my explaination on this post:
