The Common Problems About the Huawei S2700&3700&5700 Configuration(2)

Question 1 :Does a User Have the Super User Right After Logging In from the Console Port?

Answer 1 :By default, a user that logs in to the switch from the console port has the super user right, which is the highest user right in the system.

If the user configures local authentication and sets a lower user level after logging in from the console port, the user only has the right of the lower user level. If no super user password is configured, the user can run the super command to switch to the super user. If the super user password is configured, the super command does not take effect.

Question 2 : How to Increase the Level of Commands in Different Views?

Answer 2 : By default, a switch has four user levels, ranging from 0 to 3. To increase the level of a command in a view, run the command-privilege level command.

For example, a level 3 user can use the delete or format command in the user view to delete the startup file or format the storage device that saves the startup file. To increase the level of the delete and format commands, create a user account of a higher level and run the following commands:

A command-privilege level 15 view shell delete

Only level 15 users can use the commands starting with delete in the user view (shell).

B command-privilege level 15 view shell format

Only level 15 users can use the commands starting with format in the user view (shell).

Question 3 : How to Repair a Storage Device Where an Exception Occurred?

Answer 3 : Run the fixdisk device-name command to repair the storage device.

The dir command displays information about the specified file or directory on the device. If the command output contains unknown, for example, 30,000 KB total (672 KB free, 25,560 KB used, 3,616 KB unknown), run the fixdisk device-name command to free the space occupied by an unknown application.

The command is not recommended when the system works properly. This command cannot rectify device-level faults.

I use the switch S5710-52C-PWR-EI and S5700-28C-HI most time, also meet the problems, here is some of my experience.
