Usage Guidelines
The Cisco NX-OS software creates two default user accounts in the VDC: admin and adminbackup. The
nondefault VDCs have one default user account: admin. You cannot remove a default user account.
User accounts are local to the VDCs. You can create user accounts with the same user identifiers in different
VDCs.
The Cisco NX-OS software does not support all numeric usernames, whether created with or
RADIUS, or created locally. Local users with all numeric names cannot be created. If an all numeric user
name exists on an AAA server and is entered during login, the user is not logged in.
Caution
The Cisco NX-OS software accepts only strong passwords when you have password-strength checking enabled
using the
password strength-check command. The characteristics of a strong password include the following:
• At least eight characters long
•
Does not contain many consecutive characters (such as
“
abcd
”
)
• Does not contain many repeating characters (such as “ aaabbb ” )
• Does not contain dictionary words
• Does not contain proper names
• Contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
• Contains numbers
