User Management
This section contains the following subsections:
• Creating a User and Password on page 36
• Showing and Removing Created Users on page 37
• Setting the Enable Password on page 38
• Enabling Ports on page 38
• Setting the Management IP Address on page 39
The default CLI user,
admin, has read/write access, with no password until you create one (see Creating a
User and Password on page 36). The only way to recover from a lost admin password is to reload the
switch using factory defaults. See Restoring the System to the Factory Default Configuration on page 58.
You can also control user access through access control servers, such as TACACS+ and RADIUS and with
SSH. See Chapter 9, “Providing User Access Security,” on page 135 for details. The local users you create
(up to six, including admin) all have read/write access.
There is one mode-level password — commonly called the “enable” password — that you can configure to
allow the user to move from User Exec mode to Privileged Exec mode in the CLI. See Setting the Enable
Password on page 38.
Creating a User and Password
The username passwd command creates the username and password in one statement. You can change a
password either by reentering the command with the new password or by removing the user with the
no
username command and reentering the user with a new password.
