Chapter 35: Host Names, User IDs, and Password Recovery

Use the following command to delete a user from the C4/c CMTS:
configure no username <userid>
Passwords in show running-config
The output of the show running-config command will not display the actual password. It will be encrypted and shown as an
alphanumeric string. Because the passwords are encrypted, an operator can use the running configuration of one C4/c
CMTS to populate the passwords and CLI command access levels of another chassis without compromising the passwords.
In the example script below, a user, Fred, has been added with password "FredSmith64". The show running-config
command confirms that user Fred has been added but does not reveal his actual password.
configure username Fred password FredSmith64
show running-config verbose | include Fred
configure username "Fred" encrypted-password 2baa197a8b00dc2f90f2a08a365287e1
Configuring Privilege Levels and Local Authentication
For security reasons users may configure CLI command authentication. In this procedure authentication is set to local and
a privilege level is assigned to certain CLI commands. This procedure is meant as an example that users may follow
according to their needs for authentication and authorization. For more information, see Configuring Passwords and
Privileges.
To Configure a Privilege Level and Set Authentication to Local
1. Create the enable
command password and set the privilege level required to use the password in order to access
privileged commands:
configure enable
password <password> priv
ilege
<0-15>
where privilege is a number 0–15. If you select level 7, for example, then levels 0–7 must all use the password to
access privileged commands.
The enable
command enables access to the privileged commands.
2. To set the authentication method to the local list of users and passwords:
configure authentication testlist1 local
where testlist1 is an example of a name for this method list.
