Setting up local user accounts
For each user account, you specify the user name. You can also specify:
• A password
• The privilege level, which can be one of the following:
• Full access (super-user). This is the default.
• Port-configuration access
• Read-only access
To configure user accounts, you must add a user account for super-user access before you can add
accounts for other access levels. You will need the super-user account to make further
administrative changes.
You must be logged on with super-user access (privilege level 0, or with a valid Enable password for
super-user access) to add user accounts or configure other access parameters.
To set up local user accounts, enter following commands.
ServerIronADX(config)# username greg-mcmillan nopassword
ServerIronADX(config)# username waldo privilege 5 password whereis
The first command adds a user account for a super-user with the user name "greg-mcmillan" and
no password with privilege level super-user. This user has full access to all configuration and
display features.
The second command adds a user account for user name "waldo", password "whereis", with
privilege level read-only. Waldo can look for information but cannot make configuration changes.
Syntax: [no] username <user-string> privilege <privilege-level> password <password-string>|
nopassword
The privilege <privilege-level> parameter specifies one of the following:
• 0 – Full access (super-user)
• 4 – Port-configuration access
• 5 – Read-only access
The default privilege level is 0. To assign full access to the user account, you can enter the
command without privilege 0, as shown in the command example above.
The password | nopassword parameter indicates whether the user must enter a password. If you
specify password, enter the string for the user's password.
NOTE
There is a default username "admin" and the password "brocade". For the security purpose, you may
want to delete the default username. You will have to create at least one username in order to delete
it. Otherwise, the default username will be automatically created after rebooted.
