Chapter 2 Configuring General Switch Features
Configuring User Access
1. SPVC = soft permanent virtual connection
2. SPVP = soft permanent virtual path
Note Earlier releases of the Cisco MGX 8850 software support users at levels Group 2 through Group 5. These
user levels have been removed from the software. If you upgrade a switch that has users configured at
these levels, the user level for the affected users will change to Group 1 level access during the upgrade.
To add a user to the switch, use the following procedure.
Step 1 Establish a CLI management session with GROUP1 privileges or higher. To add a user at a specific
access level, you must log in as a user with a higher access level.
Step 2 Enter the following command after the switch prompt:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> adduser < username > < accessLevel >
Enter the username using 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters. Specify the access level by entering one of
the levels defined in
Table 2-3 .
Note The access levels are case-sensitive and must be entered as shown in Table 2-3 . Also, you cannot
add users at access levels that are equal to or above your own access level.
If you enter the command correctly, the switch prompts you for a password.
Step 3
Enter a password, using 5 to 15 characters.
Step 4 When prompted, enter the password a second time to validate the previous entry.
This completes the addition of the new user.
SUPER_GP This access level allows users to configure switch level parameters such as the
node name, date, and interface IP addresses. Users at this level can also enable
traces. This access level also provides access to all commands in all lower
access levels: GROUP1 and ANYUSER.
The default username is superuser, and the default password is superuser.
Users at the superuser access level can add users, delete users, change
passwords, and change access levels for users at the following levels: GROUP1
and ANYUSER.
GROUP1 This access level allows users to configure line and port level parameters and
create SPVCs
1
and SPVPs
1
. This access level also provides access to all
commands at the ANYUSER access level.
No default username and password is provided for this access level.
Users at the GROUP1 access level can add users, delete users, and change
passwords for users at the ANYUSER access level.
ANYUSER This access level allows users to run display and status commands that display
the switch configuration and operational status.
No default username and password is provided for this access level.
