Creating a User Account
One of the first and most important tasks after powering-on the Switch for the first time is to create a user account with
administrator-level privileges. Logging in using a predefined administrator-level username will give the user privileged
access to the Switch's management software.
An example to create an administrator-level account for the Switch
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.
4. Enter the
username NewUser privilege 15
command. Press
Enter
. This will configure this user account to
have
Administrative
(
15
) privileges.
5. Enter the
line console
command to enter the
Line Configuration Mode
. Press
Enter
.
6. Enter the
login local
command. Press
Enter
. This specifies that the local line requires login credentials.
7. Enter the
end
command to exit back to the
Privileged EXEC Mode
.
