called ‘NewUser’:
Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#username NewUser password 12345
Switch(config)#username NewUser privilege 15
Switch(config)#line console
Switch(config-line)#login local
Switch(config-line)#end
Switch#
In the example above:
1.
At the CLI command prompt, enter the
enable
command to enter the
Privileged EXEC Mode
. Press
Enter
.
2. Enter the
configure terminal
command to enter the
Global Configuration Mode
. Press
Enter
.
3. Enter the
username NewUser password 12345
command. Press
Enter
. This will create a user account with
the username of NewUser and a password of 12345.
