What to Do Next
After completing configuration of a full set of user groups, configure individual users as described in the
“Configuring Users” section.
Configuring Users
Perform this task to configure a user.
Each user is identified by a username that is unique across the administrative domain. Each user should
be made a member of at least one user group. Deleting a user group may orphan the users associated with
that group. The AAA server authenticates orphaned users but most commands are not authorized.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. username user-name
3. password {0 | 7} password
or
secret {0
| 5} secret
4. group group-name
5. Repeat Step 4 for each user group to be associated with the user specified in Step 2.
Step 6
Repeat Step 5 for each task group to be associated with
the user group named in Step 2.

Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
– Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
– Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
– Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
