Connectivity Guide

Configure a management route to the network in CONFIGURATION mode. Repeat the command to configure multiple routes for
the Management port.
management route {ipv4-address/mask | ipv6-address/prefix-length}
{forwarding-router-address | managementethernet}
● ipv4-address/mask — Enter an IPv4 network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D), then a subnet mask in /
prefix-length format (/x).
● ipv6-address/prefix-length — Enter an IPv6 address in x:x:x:x::x format with the prefix length in /x format. The
prefix range is /0 to /128.
● forwarding-router-address — Enter the next-hop IPv4/IPv6 address of a forwarding router for network traffic from
the Management port.
● managementethernet — Configures the Management port as the interface for the route, and associates the route with
the Management interface.
Configure management route
OS10(config)# management route 10.10.20.0/24 10.1.1.1
OS10(config)# management route 172.16.0.0/16 managementethernet
Configure user name and password
To set up remote access to OS10, create a new user name and password after you configure the management port and default
route. The user role is a mandatory entry.
Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running configuration. A password must have at least
nine alphanumeric and special characters, and at least five different characters from the password previously used for the same
username.
For backward compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and SHA-512 format
are supported.
To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command.
● Create a user name and password in CONFIGURATION mode.
username username password password role role
○ username username — Enter a text string. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters; 1 character minimum.
○ password password — Enter a text string. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters; 9 characters minimum.
○ role role — Enter a user role:
￭ sysadmin — Full access to all commands in the system, exclusive access to commands that manipulate the file
system, and access to the system shell. A system administrator can create user IDs and user roles.
￭ secadmin — Full access to configuration commands that set security policy and system access, such as password
strength, AAA authorization, and cryptographic keys. A security administrator can display security information, such
as cryptographic keys, login statistics, and log information.
￭ netadmin — Full access to configuration commands that manage traffic flowing through the switch, such as routes,
interfaces, and access control lists (ACLs). A network administrator cannot access configuration commands for
security features or view security information.
￭ netoperator — Access to EXEC mode to view the current configuration. A network operator cannot modify any
configuration setting on a switch.
Create user name and enter password in clear text
OS10(config)# username user05 password alpha404! role sysadmin
CLI Basics
The OS10 CLI is the software interface you use to access a device running the software — from the console or through a
network connection. The CLI is an OS10-specific command shell that runs on top of a Linux-based OS kernel. By leveraging
industry-standard tools and utilities, the CLI provides a powerful set of commands that you can use to monitor and configure
devices running OS10.
