○ netadmin — Full access to configuration commands that manage traffic flowing through the
switch, such as routes, interfaces, and ACLs. A network administrator cannot access configuration
commands for security features or view security information.
○ netoperator — Access to EXEC mode to view the current configuration. A network operator
cannot modify any configuration setting on a switch.
Default
● User name and password entries are in clear text.
● There is no default user role.
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 configuration. 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
username sshkey
Enables SSH password-less login using the public key for a remote client. The remote client is not prompted to enter a
password.
Syntax
username user_name sshkey sshkey_string
Parameters
● user_name — Enter the user name of the remote client. This value is the user name configured with the username password role command.
● sshkey_string — Enter the public key used by the remote client device to log in to the OS10 switch.
Default
The default SSH server keys are an RSA key generated using 2048 bits, an ECDSA key with 256 bits, and an Ed2559 key with 256 bits.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Locate the public keys on a remote client in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file. Use the public key as the sshkey_string parameter.
The no username user_name sshkey command removes the SSH password-less configuration for a specified user name.
To configure multiple user names for SSH password-less login, use the username sshkey filename command.
Example
OS10(config)# username user10 sshkey abcd
OS10(config)# do show running-configuration users
