Command Syntax and Usage

Defines a string that represents the name of the user. This is the login name that you need in
order to access the switch.
auth md5|sha|none
Configures the authentication protocol between HMAC-MD5-96 or HMAC-SHA-96.
The default algorithm is none.
authpw
Allows you to create or change your password for authentication. If you selected an
authentication algorithm using the above command, you need to provide a password,
otherwise you will get an error message during validation.

authentication protocol, you will get an error message.
