Setting passwords

Read Only level – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode of the CLI but
only with read access.
You can assign a password to each management privilege level. You also can configure up to 16
user accounts consisting of a user name and password, and assign each user account to one of
the three privilege levels. Refer to
“Setting up local user accounts”
NOTE
You must use the CLI to assign a password for management privilege levels.
If you configure user accounts in addition to privilege level passwords, the device will validate a
user access attempt using one or both methods (local user account or privilege level password),
depending on the order you specify in the authentication-method lists. Refer to
