AAA Commands
page 43-28 OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009
• The password expiration date will display in an ASCII text file produced via the snapshot command.
• A password expiration for the user’s current password may be configured with the expiration option.
However, if the password is changed, or the global password expiration setting is configured with the
user password-expiration command, the user’s password expiration will be configured with the
global expiration setting.
• When modifying a user’s SNMP access, the user password must be re-entered (or a new one config-
ured). This is required because the hash algorithm used to save the password in the switch depends on
the SNMP authentication level.
• At initial startup, the default user on the switch is admin with a password of switch. The switch will
not recreate this user at any successive startup as long as there exists at least one user defined with
write access to all commands. (Note that if password expiration is configured for the admin user, or
configured globally through the user password-expiration command, when the admin user’s pass-
word expires, the admin user will have access only through the console port.)
• Either privileges or an end-user profile may be associated with a user; both cannot be configured for
the same user.
• New users or updated user settings are saved automatically; that is, these settings do not require the
write memory, copy running-config working, or configuration snapshot command to save user
settings over a reboot.
