Setting up local user accounts
2
Configuring a local user account
To configure a local user account, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG
level of the CLI.
Virtual ADX(config)#username wonka password willy
This command adds 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.
NOTE
If you configure local user accounts, you must grant Super User level access to at least one account
before you add accounts with other privilege levels. You need the Super User account to make
further administrative changes.
Virtual ADX(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
The privilege 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.
NOTE
You must be logged on with Super User access (privilege level 0) to add user accounts or configure
other access parameters.
Displaying user account information
To display user account information, enter the following command.
Syntax: show users
Virtual ADX(config)#show users
