Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches (Setting Up the Switch)
username SEC >
Note: Commands that are at the Security Officer level have the text “_SEC” added to the command in the
command reference.
For all security levels, a login name and password (case-sensitive) are required to access the system. There is a
timer (default of 300 seconds or 5 minutes) that will log off the session if no commands are entered within the
timeout period.
Note: The SBx3112 can support up to 10 concurrent TELNET sessions.
Note: Spaces are not allowed in user names and passwords.
1.5.2 Customizing the CLI Prompt
When the user logs into the Allied Telesis system, a default CLI prompt is provided as displayed here:
Username: officer
Password:
officer SEC>> <----------- CLI prompt
The user has the ability to provision or customize the system CLI prompt. The changes to the CLI prompt
affect all user sessions immediately after the prompt settings are modified.
Usage notes:
• The CLI prompt is a text message presented to a user after successful login authentication.
• The CLI prompt is the same for all users.
The user can change the format of the CLI prompt. Aside from plain text, the CLI prompt can contain any of the
following formats:
• Device IP (%i)
• System name (%n)
• User name (%u)
• Date (%d)
• Time (%t)
• Security level (%s)
Note that changes to the CLI prompt persist over software upgrades, over both active and inactive CFCs in a
duplex system, and over restarts.
Note: When the Network Access product device is managed by the Allied Telesis NMS system, the user
account (Security Officer level) that is used by the Allied Telesis NMS to query and control the device
must use the default >> prompt. Refer to the Allied Telesis NMS Administration Guide for details.
