When the FW Is Connected to the Network at Layer 2 in Transparent Mode, How Can I Log In to the Device Through Service Interfaces?

Add the layer-2 interface (service interface) to the VLAN and log in to the device through interface VLANIF. For example, the two service interfaces are GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 0/0/2. The configurations are as follows:

# Create a VLAN and add the interfaces to the VLAN. By default, the interfaces belong to VLAN1.

<FW> system-view
[FW] vlan 2
[FW-vlan-2] quit
[FW] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] portswitch
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type access
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port default vlan 2
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
[FW] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/2
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] portswitch
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type access
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port default vlan 2
[FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

# Configure the VLANIF interfaces.

[FW] interface vlanif 2
[FW-Vlanif2] ip address 10.1.3.1 24
[FW-Vlanif2] service-manage enable
[FW-Vlanif2] service-manage ssh permit
[FW-Vlanif2] service-manage https permit
[FW-Vlanif2] quit
[FW] firewall zone trust
[FW-zone-trust] add interface vlanif 2
[FW-zone-trust] quit

# Configure a security policy from the Trust zone, where the VLANIF interfaces reside, to the Local zone.

[FW] security-policy
[FW-policy-security] rule name policy_sec
[FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec] source-zone trust
[FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec] destination-zone local
[FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec] action permit
[FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec] quit
[FW-policy-security] quit

Log in to the device using 10.1.3.1 after the configurations are complete.

Why Does Not the Administrator of a Specific Level (Such as Level 1) Have the Permission to Execute the Command of the Same Level?

The administrator whose level is higher than or equal to the level of a command can identify the command but may not be able to run the command.

When the rights- and domain-based control function is enabled (undo role-switch command close exclude audit-admin), the commands of a certain level can be executed only when the following two conditions are met:
  • The level of the administrator is higher than or equal to the command level.
  • The role of the administrator has the permission on the command module (feature to which the command belongs).
