Local user accounts with unencrypted passwords
If you want to use unencrypted passwords for local user accounts, enter a command such as the
following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)#username wonka password willy
If password masking is enabled, press the [Enter] key before entering the password.
PowerConnect(config)#username wonka
Enter Password: willy
The above commands add a local user account with the user name “wonka” and the password
“willy”. This account has the Super User privilege level; this user has full access to all configuration
and display features.
PowerConnect(config)#username waldo privilege 5 password whereis
This command adds a user account for user name “waldo”, password “whereis”, with the Read
Only privilege level. Waldo can look for information but cannot make configuration changes.
Syntax: [no] username <user-string> privilege <privilege-level> password | nopassword
<password-string>
You can enter up to 255 characters for <user-string>.
The privilege <privilege-level> parameter specifies the privilege level for the account. You can
specify one of the following:
0 – Super User level (full read-write access)
4 – Port Configuration level
5 – Read Only level
The default privilege level is 0. If you want to assign Super User level access to the account, you can
enter the command without privilege 0, as shown in the command example above.
The password | nopassword parameter indicates whether the user must enter a password. If you
specify password, enter the string for the user's password. You can enter up to 255 characters for
<password-string>. If strict password enforcement is enabled on the device, you must enter a
minimum of eight characters containing the following combinations:
At least two upper case characters
At least two lower case characters
At least two numeric characters
At least two special characters
NOTE
You must be logged on with Super User access (privilege level 0) to add user accounts or configure
other access parameters.
To display user account information, enter the following command.
PowerConnect#show users
