Use the Security > User Accounts page to control management access to the switch based on manually configured user names and passwords.
The name of the user. (Maximum length: 32 characters; maximum number of users: 16)
Specifies command access privileges. (Range: 0-15)
Level 0, 8 and 15 are designed for users (guest), managers (network maintenance), and administrators (top-level access). The other levels can be used to configured specialized access profiles.
Level 0-7 provide the same default access to a limited number of commands which display the current status of the switch, as well as several database clear and reset functions. These commands are equivalent to those available under Normal Exec command mode in the CLI.
Level 8-14 provide the same default access privileges, including additional commands beyond those provided for Levels 0-7 (equivalent to CLI Normal Exec command mode), and a subset of the configuration commands provided for Level 15 (equivalent to CLI Privileged Exec command mode).
Level 15 provides full access to all commands.
The privilege level associated with any command can be changed using the "privilege" command.
Any privilege level can access all of the commands assigned to lower privilege levels. For example, privilege level 8 can access all commands assigned to privilege levels 7-0 according to default settings, and to any other commands assigned to levels 7-0 using the "privilege" command.
No Password - No password is required for this user to log in.
Plain Password - Plain text unencrypted 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. There is no need for you to manually configure encrypted passwords.
Specifies the user password. (Range: 0-32 characters plain text, case sensitive)
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.
