Assigning permanent passwords
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, it is strongly recommended that you assign passwords.
The CLI contains the following access levels:
•
Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. From this level you can manage
files on the management module flash memory or a auxiliary flash card in the management module slots 1 or 2, save the system
configuration to flash memory, and clear caches.
•
CONFIG – The configuration level. From this level you can configure a system IP address and configure routing features. To
access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
NOTE
You cannot assign a password using the Web management interface. You can assign passwords using the Brocade Network
Advisor software if an Enable password for a super user is already configured on the device.
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:
•
Super user – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only
password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.
•
Port configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide) parameters.
•
Read only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.
To set passwords, perform the following steps:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
Brocade> enable
Brocade#
2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the configure terminal command.
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
Syntax: configure terminal
3. Enter the enable super-user-password command to set the super-user password.
Brocade(config)# enable super-user-password mustang
Syntax: enable super-user password <text>
