Hi,

only on privilege level 15, you can view the running configuration.

Hi,

does it mean that whatever we do, the "sh run" is still in level 15?

YES ur right, bcoz privilege level 15 is the admin privileges, other levels are not entitled to see the configuration as it is not safe.

Hi,

When access to the router is configured by privilege levels, a common issue is that the show running is configured at or below the user's privilege level. When the user executes the command, the configuration appears to be blank. This is actually by design due to that this command displays all of the commands that the current user is able to modify (in other words, all the commands at or below the user's current privilege level). The command should not display commands above the user's current privilege level because of security considerations. If so, commands such as snmp-server community could be used to modify the current configuration of the router and gain complete access to the router.

For example, if a certain privilege level is given the privilege to configure under the interface, and do show run, when a user do show run with this level, he will get only the interface configurations:

privilege configure all level 5 interface

privilege exec all level 5 show running-config

Router#sh run

Building configuration...

end

I hope that i've been informative.
