Managing User Login Accounts
Page 8-13
Adding a User Account Using the CLI Command Mode
To add a user account from the CLI mode, you must be logged into an account with adminis-
trative privileges. Enter the following at the command prompt.
user
user_name <password
user_password>
where user_name is the new user login account name and user_password is the new user
login account password. Both these values are specified by the user. For the user name
“Techpubs1”, the following message is displayed:
User Techpubs1 created.
If you do not specify a password when you create the new account, switch becomes the
default password.
♦ Note♦
It is recommended that you change the password from
the default for all login accounts.
Both the user account name and the password are limited to 16 text characters. The new
login account and password will take effect at the user’s next login session.
Assigning Account Privileges Using the CLI Command Mode
A user account’s READ and WRITE privileges can be assigned for all commands or for various
subsets of commands. The command subsets referred to as command families are shown
here:
config, vlan, iprout, ipxrout, bridge, snmp, xswitch, hrefilter, atmser, atmup, cem, csm, pnni, atmacct,
voip, mpoa, mpls
and user.
In addition to assigning privileges according to command families, an administrator can
restrict the user account’s ability to execute specific commands. Here is a list of commands
that can be restricted from a user account.
system, status, slot, timeout, prompt, define, prefix, reboot, telnet, ftp, ping, swap, reset, cd, ls, rm, file,
interface, ethernet, gated,
and ui.
♦ Warning♦
If partition management is intended for a user account,
that account cannot have permission to use the
UI
command or the
UI mode.
