Configuring User Accounts
– 303 –
◆ Access Level – Specifies command access privileges. (Range: 0-15)
Level 0 provides access to a limited number of commands which display the
current status of the switch, as well as several database clear and reset
functions. These commands are equivalent to those available under Normal
Exec command mode in the CLI.
Levels 1-15 provide full access to all commands, equivalent to CLI Privileged
Exec command mode.
The privilege level associated with any command can be changed using the
“privilege” command described in the CLI Reference Guide.
Any privilege level can access all of the commands assigned to lower privilege
levels.
◆ Password Type – Specifies the following options:
■
No Password – No password is required for this user to log in.
■
Plain Password – Plain text unencrypted password.
■
Encrypted Password – Encrypted password.
The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password
settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when reading the configuration file
during system bootup or when downloading the configuration file from a
TFTP or FTP server. There is no need for you to manually configure
encrypted passwords.
◆ Password – Specifies the user password. (Range: 0-32 characters, case
sensitive)
◆ Confirm Password – Re-type the string entered in the previous field to ensure
no errors were made. The switch will not change the password if these two
fields do not match.
