Configuring User Accounts
Normal privilege level provides access to a limited number of the commands which display the
current status of the switch, as well as several database clear and reset functions. Privileged
level provides full access to all commands.
• Password Type – Specifies the following options:
• No Password – No password is required for this user to log in.
• Plain Password – Plain text unencrypted password.
• Encrypted Password – Encrypted password.
The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password settings (i.e.,
plain text or encrypted) when reading the configuration file during system bootup or when
downloading the configuration file from a TFTP or FTP server. There is no need for you to
manually configure encrypted passwords.
• Password – Specifies the user password. (Range: 0-32 characters, case sensitive)
• Confirm Password – Re-type the string entered in the previous field to ensure no errors were
made. The switch will not change the password if these two fields do not match.
