Configuring the XSR Name and User Information
1. At the CLI prompt, enter enable to acquire Privileged EXEC mode.
2. Enter configure to acquire Global mode.
3. Enter hostname < your XSR designation >.
4. Enter username < name > < privilege level > password < cleartext | secret > < 0 | 5 > < password> .
5. Enter banner login <your welcome text> to add a user login banner.
Remember to save your configuration after all edits.
Setting User Name, Privilege and Password
The value < name > is the user’s designation - for sake of clarity, often set as the name of the facility
or site the XSR connects to. The value < privilege level > (0-15) prioritizes this user in terms of
configuration rights with 15 as the highest and 0 the lowest (default). When you create a new user
you can decide which privilege that user will have (if you are
admin ). For example, a user with
privilege 7 will be allowed to execute only commands with privilege levels between 0 and 7.
Default privilege levels are defined for all commands and the admin user and are listed in the XSR
CLI Reference Guide under the
privilege
command. You can change a command’s default
privilege by entering:
privilege <configuration_mode> level <0-15> <command |
command_group>
.
The value < cleartext | secret > can be sent in the clear or encrypted with a 0 (the input password is
not expected to be unencrypted so the XSR will encrypt it) or 5 (the input password is expected to
already be encrypted so it will not be encrypted again). The value < pass > is the password
associated with the specified name. The MD5 algorithm is encrypts the password.
Note: Newly created users are stored in the startup config file. You can also delete admin but only if
you first create another level 15 user.
