Chapter 30 Configuring Switch Access Using AAA Configuring Authentication Setting the Login Password The login password controls access to the user mode CLI. Passwords are case sensitive, contain up to 30 characters, and use any printable ASCII characters, including a space. Note Passwords that are set in software release 5.3 and earlier releases remain non-case sensitive. You must reset the password after installing software release 5.4 or a later release to activate case sensitivity. To set the login password for local authentication, perform this task in privileged mode: Task Command Set the login password for access. Enter your old password (press set password Return on a switch with no password configured), enter your new password, and reenter your new password. This example shows how to set the login password on the switch: Console> (enable) set password Enter old password:old_password Enter new password:new_password Retype new password:new_password Password changed. Console> (enable) Setting the Enable Password The enable password controls access to the privileged mode CLI. Passwords are case sensitive, contain up to 30 characters, and use any printable ASCII characters, including a space. Note Passwords that are set in software release 5.3 and earlier releases remain non-case sensitive. You must reset the password after installing software release 5.4 or a later release to activate case sensitivity. To set the enable password for local authentication, perform this task in privileged mode: Task Set the password for privileged mode.

Configuring Switch Access Using AAA

Configuring Authentication

Setting the Login Password

The login password controls access to the user mode CLI. Passwords are case sensitive, contain up to

30 characters, and use any printable ASCII characters, including a space.

Note

Passwords that are set in software release 5.3 and earlier releases remain non-case sensitive. You must

reset the password after installing software release 5.4 or a later release to activate case sensitivity.

To set the login password for local authentication, perform this task in privileged mode:

This example shows how to set the login password on the switch:

Console> (enable)

set password

Enter old password:

old_password

Enter new password:

new_password

Retype new password:

new_password

Password changed.

Console> (enable)

Setting the Enable Password

The enable password controls access to the privileged mode CLI. Passwords are case sensitive, contain

up to 30 characters, and use any printable ASCII characters, including a space.

Note

Passwords that are set in software release 5.3 and earlier releases remain non-case sensitive. You must

reset the password after installing software release 5.4 or a later release to activate case sensitivity.

To set the enable password for local authentication, perform this task in privileged mode:

This example shows how to set the enable password on the switch:

Console> (enable)

set enablepass

Enter old password:

<old_password>

Enter new password:

<new_password>

Retype new password:

<new_password>

Password changed.

Console> (enable)

Task

Command

Set the login password for access. Enter your old password (press

Return

on a switch with no password configured), enter your new

password, and reenter your new password.

set password

Task

Command

Set the password for privileged mode. Enter your old password (press

Return

on a switch with no password configured), enter your new

password, and reenter your new password.

set enablepass
