Creating User Accounts
Setting a username and password is the first task you will perform on your device. Typically, as a network
administrator, you will want to control access to your device and prevent unauthorized users from seeing your
network configuration or manipulating your settings.
Procedure
Step 1
Log on using the default username and password provided with the device. These details differ based on the
software version of your switch.
The default username is
cisco
; the default password is the serial number of the switch chassis. For Cisco
Catalyst switches running software versions earlier than Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x, the default username is
webui
; the default password is the serial number of the switch chassis.
Step 2
Set a password of up to 25 alphanumeric characters. The username password combination you set gives you
privilege 15 access. The string cannot start with a number, is case sensitive, and allows spaces but ignores
leading spaces.
