I’m trying to configure A10 to change the default login to privilege mode and it doesn’t seem to be working with login privilege mode command.  
Could you please let me know if i need any additional commands for this?

Thanks,  
Abhi

Hello Abhi,

Assuming that you’re admin user is local have you tried the ‘authentication login privilege-mode local’ command?

Thanks, John.
