CAT Access Mask

The CAT access mask specifies the accessible features for a custom access type.

The mask is a 32-bit hexadecimal value. Each feature is assigned to a unique bit in the mask. To control the accessible features for a user, you set the appropriate bits. Table�17 shows the bit position of each feature.

Bit 12

00000800
Modules and Ports

Bit 20

00080000
Layer 2 Switching
Bit 24
0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
00800000
Routing
Bit 28
0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
08000000

For example, to give a user access to modules and ports, event management, layer 2 switching, and routing, you would enter a hexadecimal value of 08888000 (0000 1000 1000 1000 1000 0000 0000 0000 binary).

Note: Only bits 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 are used in the CAT access mask. Set all other bits to 0. If you inadvertently set other bits in the mask, the switch ignores them. The remaining bits in the mask are reserved for future use.

If you enter a mask of all zeros (00000000), the user can view general system information but cannot configure any settings.
