Hey Thomas (& the rest of the list)- Correct me if I'm wrong, (please!, I've gone through a CCNA course but haven't taken the test yet!) but I think the IOS only has two levels of access, one to basically monitor and the other to admin the router. If this is the case, I think you're out of luck. Does any one know of any software (simulator-like) that will only allow certain commands to be passed on to the router? If not, I'M CALLING THE PATENT OFFICE RIGHT NOW!!

... The desktop support is requesting access to (Cisco) routers and
switches to enable/disable
ports. (...) I know that they are going to get it and it is a big risk,
but is there any way to
limit there access to just enabling/disabling ports? Thanks for all the help. Thomas Graf HW/SW Technician
