Description
Changes user preferences for the session or permanently. The system requires at least one CLI user
with the manage role to exist.
A user with the manage role can change any parameter except name. A user with the monitor role
can change any parameter for that user except name, roles, and interfaces.
NOTE: User changes take effect the next time that the user logs in.

Parameters
[authentication-type MD5|SHA|none]
Optional. For an SNMPv3 user, this specifies whether to use a security authentication protocol. This
parameter requires the password parameter and, for the snmptarget interface, the trap-host
parameter.
● MD5: MD5 authentication. This is the default.
● SHA: SHA-1 authentication.
● none: No authentication.
[base 2|10]
Optional. Sets the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes:
● 2: Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude. In base 2 when you
set a size, whether you specify a base-2 or base-10 size unit, the resulting size will be in base 2.
● 10: Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude. This is the
default. In base 10 when you set a size, the resulting size will be in the specified unit. This option
is the default.
Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10.
Memory (RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.
