Creating Local Manager Accounts
The command for creating local manager accounts is the USERNAME
command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command’s
format:
username
name

password
The NAME parameter specifies the log-on name for the new account. The
name is case-sensitive and can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters
including special characters. Spaces are not allowed.
The LEVEL parameter specifies the privilege level of the account. The
level can be either 1 or 15. Manager accounts with the privileged level 15
have access to all of the command modes, while manager accounts with
the privilege level 1 are restricted to the User Exec mode.
The PASSWORD parameter specifies the password for the new manager
account. You can enter the password in plaintext or encrypted. A plaintext
password is case-sensitive and can have up to 16 alphanumeric
characters including punctuation and printable special characters. Spaces
are not permitted. To enter an encrypted password, precede it with the
number ‘8’.
