Syntax username name [access-class access-list-name] [nopassword | {password | secret | sha256-password} [encryption-type] password [dynamic-salt]] [privilege level] [role role-name] If you do not want a specific user to enter a password, use the nopassword option. To delete authentication for a user, use the no username name command. Parameters name Enter a text string for the name of the user up to 63 characters. access-class Enter the keywords access-class then the name of a configured access control access-list-name list (either an IP access control list or MAC access control list). nopassword Enter the keyword nopassword to specify that the user should not enter a password. password Enter the keyword password then the encryption-type or the password. encryption-type Enter an encryption type for the password that you enter. ● 0 directs the system to store the password as clear text. It is the default encryption type when using the password option. ● 8 to indicate that a password encrypted using a sha256 hashing algorithm follows. This encryption type is available with the sha256-password option only, and is the default encryption type for this option. ● 7 to indicate that a password encrypted using a DES hashing algorithm follows. This encryption type is available with the password option only. ● 5 to indicate that a password encrypted using an MD5 hashing algorithm follows. This encryption type is available with the secret option only, and is the default encryption type for this option. password Enter a string up to 32 characters long. dynamic-salt Enter the keyword dynamic-salt to have an additional random input in the password encryption process. privilege level Enter the keyword privilege then a number from zero (0) to 15. role role-name Enter the keyword role followed by the role name to associate with that user ID. secret Enter the keyword secret then the encryption type. sha256-password Enter the keyword sha256-password then the encryption-type or the password.
