Chapter 6: System configuration using
ACLI
The modules in this section provide procedures to configure the switch or stack with ACLI.
Setting user access limitations using ACLI
The administrator can use ACLI to limit user access by creating and maintaining passwords
for Web, Telnet, and Console access. This is a two-step process that requires that you first
create the password and then enable it.
Ensure that Global Configuration mode is entered in ACLI before you start these tasks.
Setting the read-only and read/write passwords
The first step to requiring password authentication when the user logs in to a switch is to edit
the password settings. To complete this task, perform the following steps:
1. Access ACLI through the Telnet protocol or a Console connection.
2. From the command prompt, use the
cli password
command to change the
desired password.
cli password {read-only | read-write} <password>
Table 10: cli password parameters on page 71 explains the parameters for the
cli password
command.
Table 10: cli password parameters
Parameter Description

the range for length is 10-15 chars.
