Command Syntax and Usage
name <32 character name>
This command allows you to configure a string up to 32 characters long that represents the name of
the user. This is the login name that you need in order to access the switch.
auth md5|sha|none
This command allows you to configure the authentication protocol between HMAC-MD5-96 or
HMAC-SHA-96. The default algorithm is none.
authpw
If you selected an authentication algorithm using the above command, you need to provide a pass-
word, otherwise you will get an error message during validation. This command allows you to cre-
ate or change your password for authentication.
priv des|none
This command allows you to configure the type of privacy protocol on your switch. The privacy
protocol protects messages from disclosure. The options are des (CBC-DES Symmetric Encryp-
tion Protocol) or none. If you specify des as the privacy protocol, then make sure that you have
selected one of the authentication protocols (MD5 or HMAC-SHA-96). If you select none as the
authentication protocol, you will get an error message.
privpw
This command allows you to create or change the privacy password.
