Notes The two components of security are user authentication and fabric security. The
user must be authenticated before gaining access to a switch. If an invalid
account name/password combination is entered, that user can not access the
switch, and thus can not gain access to the fabric. If security is enabled (True) and
a valid account name/password combination is entered, that user can access the
switch but can not execute any command that exceeds their authority (privileges)
level. If security is disabled (False) and a valid account name/password
combination is entered, that user has access to all switches in the fabric and can
execute all commands (both user and admin), regardless of their authority
(privileges) level.
