Privilege 5 access show running-config not working

[BrianPersaud]

Hi All

I have show running-config working with privPrivilege 5 5 on all of our switches except one particular IOS version.  Wanted to know if anyone encountered this issue as well.  When I do the show run view full the output is blank.

Here is the output of the commands:

switch1#show running-config view full
switch1#show running-config
switch1#

username test5 privilege 5 secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

privilege exec level 5 show running-config view full
privilege exec level 5 show running-config view
privilege exec level 5 show running-config
privilege exec level 5 show

Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image Mode
------ ----- ----- ---------- ---------- ----
* 1 28 WS-C3650-24PD 16.6.6 CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9 INSTALL

Can you provide other version working for you.

IOS XE - command syntax.

Thanks Balaji for the document.  I was able to find the solution in there and it is now working successfully using show running-config view full command.  The syntax was a bit different:

Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# privilege exec all level 5 show running-config
Device(config)# file privilege 5
Device(config)# privilege configure all level 5 logging
Device(config)# end

this is working for me but it is not working for "show derived-config", the command is accepted but the output is empty. Any idea?

[balaji.bandi]

give more information on what device and IOS code running.

[LUCA_ITALY]

Hi and thank you for your kindly reply.

Here the informations:

Model SW Version
----- ----------
C9200L-48P-4X 17.06.04
C9200L-24P-4X 17.06.04

This is the configuration about the priviledges

file privilege 7

privilege exec level 7 show access-session
privilege exec all level 7 show derived-config
privilege exec level 7 show running-config view full

Thank you

Luca

output empty when you issue  show derived-config (or show run not show that config ?)

[LUCA_ITALY]

This is the output. The show run has no problem

[balaji.bandi]

this is if the because of priv 7? what is the outcome user has priv 15 ?
