Configuring Management Access
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Concepts Guide 33
Configuring Management Access
ExtremeWare XOS supports the following two levels of management:
• User
• Administrator
In addition to the management levels, you can optionally use an external RADIUS server to provide CLI
command authorization checking for each command. For more information on RADIUS, see Chapter 10.
User Account
A user-level account has viewing access to all manageable parameters, with the exception of:
• User account database.
• SNMP community strings.
A person with a user-level account can use the ping command to test device reachability and change
the password assigned to the account name. If you have logged on with user capabilities, the command
line prompt ends with a (>) sign. For example:
BD-1.2 >
Administrator Account
A person with an administrator-level account can view and change all switch parameters. With this
level, you can also add and delete users, as well as change the password associated with any account
name.
enable idletimeout Enables a timer that disconnects all sessions (both Telnet
and console) after 20 minutes of inactivity. The default
setting is enabled.
enable ssh2 {port <tcp_port_number>} {vr
[<vr_name> | all | default]}
Enables SSH2 sessions. By default, SSH2 is disabled. Once
enabled, SSH uses TCP port number 22.
You must install the SSH software module in addition to the
base image to run SSH.
enable telnet Enables Telnet access to the switch. By default, Telnet uses
TCP port number 23.
history Displays the commands entered on the switch.
show banner Displays the user-configured banner.
unconfigure switch {all} Resets all switch parameters (with the exception of defined
user accounts, and date and time information) to the factory
defaults.
If you specify the keyword all, the switch erases the
currently selected configuration image in flash memory and
reboots. As a result, all parameters are reset to default
settings.
