Setting passwords for management privilege levels
You can set one password for each of the following management privilege levels:
•
Super User level – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for
system administrators and is the only management privilege level that allows you to configure
passwords.
•
Port Configuration level – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global
(system-wide) parameters.
•
Read Only level – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode of the CLI but
only with read access.
You can assign a password to each management privilege level. You also can configure up to 16
user accounts consisting of a user name and password, and assign each user account to one of
the three privilege levels. Refer to
“Setting up local user accounts”
on page 75.
NOTE
You must use the CLI to assign a password for management privilege levels. You cannot assign a
password using the Web Management Interface.
If you configure user accounts in addition to privilege level passwords, the device will validate a
user’s access attempt using one or both methods (local user account or privilege level password),
depending on the order you specify in the authentication-method lists. Refer to
“Configuring
authentication-method lists”
on page 109.
Follow the steps to set passwords for management privilege levels.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the
EXEC mode.
BigIron RX> enable
BigIron RX#
2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command.
BigIron RX# configure terminal
BigIron RX(config)#
3. Enter the following command to set the Super User level password.
BigIron RX(config)# enable super-user-password <text>
NOTE
You must set the Super User level password before you can set other types of passwords. The
Super User level password can be an alphanumeric string, but cannot begin with a number.
4. Enter the following commands to set the Port Configuration level and Read Only level
passwords.
BigIron RX(config)# enable port-config-password <text>
BigIron RX(config)# enable read-only-password <text>
Syntax: enable super-user-password <text>
Syntax: enable port-config-password <text>
Syntax: enable read-only-password <text>
