1-94 SET USER AR Series Router Reference Manual
Software Release 2.0.1
C613-03018-00 REV A
The DESCRIPTION parameter specifies a descriptive text for the entry, such as
the full name and location of the user. This string may contain any printing
character and the case is preserved in output.
The PASSWORD parameter specifies the password for the user. The password
is case sensitive. It is intended that the PASSWORD parameter be used to set an
initial password for the user and that the user will change it to some string
known only to the user, using the command:
SET PASSWORD
A password set with the SET PASSWORD command on page 1-89 may contain
any printing character. A configurable minimum password length is enforced.
The default is 6 characters.
The PRIVILEGE parameter specifies the privilege level for the user. The default
is USER. A user with USER privilege has access to only a limited subset of
commands, generally commands that only affect the user’s own session or
asynchronous port. A user with MANAGER privilege has access to the
complete router command set when the router is operating in normal mode, or
a subset of commands when the router is operating in security mode. A user
with SECURITY OFFICER privilege has access to the full set of commands, and
in particular, can access security commands while the router is operating in
security mode.
The TELNET parameter specifies whether or not the user is permitted to use
the TELNET command on page 11-24 of Chapter 11, Terminal Server to Telnet to
another host, or the CONNECT command on page 11-13 of Chapter 11, Terminal
Server to access a Telnet service when logged in via Telnet.
The IPADDRESS parameter specifies an IP address for the user. The value must
be a valid IP address in dotted decimal form.
The IPXNETWORK parameter specifies the Novell network number assigned
to the user accessing a Novell internetwork. See Chapter 18, Asynchronous Call
Control for more information. The network number may be cleared by setting
IPXNETWORK to NONE instead of a network number. The default is NONE.
The NETMASK parameter specifies an IP network mask for the user. The value
must be a valid IP address in dotted decimal form.
The MTU parameter specifies a Maximum Transmission Unit value for the
user. The value must be a decimal integer in the range 40 to 1500 inclusive.
The IPADDRESS, NETMASK and MTU parameters are only required if the
user is to login in order to make a PPP or SLIP connection to the router over a
modem connected to an asynchronous port.
The LOGINFAIL parameter sets the number of successive login failures a user
may make before the login prompt is withheld for the lockout period. The
default value is 3.
The LOCKOUTPD parameter sets the number of seconds that the login prompt
will be withheld when the number of login retries exceeds the value set by
LOGINFAIL. The default is 600 seconds.
The MANPWDFAIL parameter sets the number of successive attempts a
manager may make to enter the correct password while entering a security
command before the session is automatically logged off. The default value is 3.
