5.1 Users IDs and Security Levels
When you log in to an ONS 15600 SDH for the first time, you use the CISCO15 user ID, which is
provided with every ONS 15600 SDH system. You can use the CISCO15 ID, which has Superuser
privileges, to create other ONS 15600 SDH user IDs. For detailed instructions about creating users, refer
to the
Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Procedure Guide
.
Each ONS 15600 SDH permits up to 500 Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or TL1 user IDs. A user ID
is assigned one of the following security levels:
•
Superuser—Users can perform all of the functions of the other security levels as well as set names,
passwords, and security levels for other users.
•
Provisioning—Users can access provisioning and maintenance options.
•
Maintenance—Users can access only the ONS 15600 SDH maintenance options.
•
Retrieve—Users can retrieve and view CTC information but cannot set or modify parameters.
See
for idle user timeout information for each security level.
By default, multiple concurrent user ID sessions are permitted on the node, that is, multiple users can
log into a node using the same user ID. However, you can provision the node to allow only a single login
per user and prevent concurrent logins for all users.
5.2 User Privileges and Policies
This section lists user privileges for each CTC action and describes the security policies available to
Superusers for provisioning.
