Setting passwords

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the

EXEC mode.

PowerConnect> enable

PowerConnect#

PowerConnect# configure terminal

PowerConnect(config)#

3. Enter the following command to set the Super User level password.

PowerConnect(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.

PowerConnect(config)# enable port-config-password <text>

PowerConnect(config)# enable read-only-password <text>

Syntax: enable super-user-password <text>

Syntax: enable port-config-password <text>

Syntax: enable read-only-password <text>

NOTE

If you forget your Super User level password, refer to “Recovering from a lost password” on

page 868.

Augmenting management privilege levels

Each management privilege level provides access to specific areas of the CLI by default:

• Super User level provides access to all commands and displays.

• Port Configuration level gives access to:

• The User EXEC and Privileged EXEC levels

• The port-specific parts of the CONFIG level

• All interface configuration levels

• Read Only level gives access to:

• The User EXEC and Privileged EXEC levels

You can grant additional access to a privilege level on an individual command basis. To grant the

additional access, you specify the privilege level you are enhancing, the CLI level that contains the

command, and the individual command.

NOTE

This feature applies only to management privilege levels on the CLI.

Enhance the Port Configuration privilege level so users also can enter IP commands at the global

CONFIG level.

PowerConnect(config)# privilege configure level 4 ip
