such as routes, interfaces, and ACLs. A network administrator cannot access conguration commands for
security features or view security information.

Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
• By default, the password must be at least nine alphanumeric characters. You can enter special characters, such
as:
! # % & ' ( ) ; < = > [ ] * + - . / : ^ _
Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running conguration. For backward
compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and SHA-512 format
are supported.
•
To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command.
• The no version of this command deletes authentication for a user.
Example
OS10(config)# username user05 password newpwd404 role sysadmin
Supported Releases 10.2.0E or later
Simple network management protocol
Network management stations use SNMP to retrieve or alter management data from network elements. Standard and private SNMP
management information bases (MIBs) are supported, including all get requests. A managed object is a datum of management
information. A MIB is a database that stores managed objects found in network elements. MIBs are hierarchically structured and use object
identiers to address managed objects. Managed objects are also known as object descriptors.
SNMP commands
SNMP traps: Enable SNMP notications to be sent to network management host devices.
