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.

subsets of commands. The command subsets referred to as command families are shown

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,

that account cannot have permission to use the
