6.7. Users, Classes, Groups, and Access
User accounts include a username, a password, and an access class that determines the commands available
to each user. The three access classes and general permissions are:
Class
Permissions
Super
Full access to all commands
Normal
Access to non-sensitive show/config commands
View
Access to non-sensitive show commands
"Non-sensitive" commands cannot have a fatal impact on managing the system and cannot reveal sensitive
information such as passwords and community strings.
"Super" access allows users to add, remove, or change access to user accounts.
Change the active user in a CLI session by using logging out and logging back into the CLI with the other
username and password.
A Super class user does not need to know the password of a user to change or delete the account. If a
Normal or View user forgets his password, a Super user can set a new password for the user by using the
"
user password
" command. Passwords must have strong security. (See "
" below.)
The factory default Super user account is "admin" with the default password "admin", which is the only
exception to the password strength rules.
Remember the super user password when it changes, and safely record it in a secure location.
