Chapter 2 Configuring General Switch Features
Configuring User Access
Note Earlier releases of the Cisco MGX 8850 software supported users at levels Group 2 through Group 5.
These user levels have been removed from the software. If you upgrade a switch that has users
configured at these levels, the user level for the affected users will change to Group 1 level access during
the upgrade.
Table 2-4 User Access Levels
Access Level Descriptions
CISCO_GP This is the highest user access level. Users with this access level have complete
access to all commands.
There is only one user at the CISCO_GP level, and that username is <cisco>.
The default password for user cisco is <cisco>. Again, Cisco Systems
recommends that you change the default passwords when you install a switch.
Users at the CISCO_GP access level can add users, delete users, change
passwords, and change access levels for users at the following levels:
SERVICE_GP, SUPERUSER_GP, GROUP1, and ANYUSER.
SERVICE_GP This access level allows access to commands that update switch firmware, save
and restore the switch configuration, and enable debugging. This access level
also provides access to all commands in all lower access levels:
SUPERUSER_GP, GROUP1, and ANYUSER.
The default username is service. The default password is <service>.
Users at the service access level can add users, delete users, change passwords,
and change access levels for users at the following levels: SUPERUSER_GP,
GROUP1, and ANYUSER.
SUPER_GP This access level allows users to configure switch level parameters such as the
node name, date, and interface IP addresses. Users at this level can also enable
traces. This access level also provides access to all commands in all lower
access levels: GROUP1 and ANYUSER.
The default username is superuser, and the default password is <superuser>.
Users at the superuser access level can add users, delete users, change
passwords, and change access levels for users at the following levels: GROUP1

GROUP1 This access level allows users to configure line and port level parameters and
create SPVCs and Soft Permanent Virtual Paths (SPVPs). This access level
also provides access to all commands at the ANYUSER access level.
No default username and password is provided for this access level.
Users at the GROUP1 access level can add users, delete users, and change
