• The username guest password password command creates a user with the name "guest" and password "password". A simple password can be configured here, since strength-checking has not yet been enabled. • The passwords strength minimum numeric-characters 2 command sets the minimum number of numeric characters required when password strength checking is enabled. This parameter is enabled only if the passwords strength minimum character-classes parameter is set to something greater than its default value of 0. • The passwords strength minimum character-classes 4 command sets the minimum number of character classes that must be present in the password. The possible character classes are: upper-case, lower-case, numeric and special. • The passwords strength-check command enables password strength checking. • The username admin password paSS1&word2 privilege 15 command creates a user with the name "admin" and password "paSS1&word2". This user is enabled for privilege level 15. Note that, because password strength checking was enabled, the password was required to have at least two numeric characters, one uppercase character, one lowercase character, and one special character. • The passwords lock-out 3 command locks out a local user after three failed login attempts. This configuration allows either user to log into the switch. Both users will have privilege level 1. Neither user will be able to successfully execute the enable command, which grants access to Privileged EXEC mode, because there is no enable password set by default (the default method list for telnet enable authentication is only the "enable" method). NOTE: It is recommend that the password strength checking and password lockout features be enabled when using local users.
