Feature rules

The feature rule indicates that the feature is related to a command set. There are 40 predefined features. Each feature can have read, write, and execute privileges. You can configure multiple features for a single role. When you add a feature to a role, the command rule entries are included automatically for all the commands associated with that feature.

A feature can have the following permissions:
  • r: The read permission displays the configuration and maintenance information. For example, the display and show commands.

  • w: The write permission configures the feature in the system. For example, the ACL and the OSPF configuration commands.

  • x: The execute permission executes specific functions. For example, the ping and the copy commands.
