switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# username NewUser password 4Ty18Rnt

Configuring RBAC
This section includes the following topics:
• Creating User Roles and Rules, page 1-5
• Changing User Role Interface Policies, page 1-7
Creating User Roles and Rules
Each user role can have up to 256 rules. You can assign a user role to more that one user account.
The rule number you specify determines the order in which the rules are applied. Rules are applied in
descending order. For example, if a role has three rules, rule 3 is applied before rule 2, which is applied
before rule 1.
To create user roles and specify rules, perform this task:
Step 3
switch(config)# username user-id [password
password] [expire date] [role role-name]
Configure a user account. The user-id argument is a
case-sensitive, alphanumeric character string with a
maximum length of 28 characters.
The default password is undefined.
Note If you do not specify a password, the user
might not be able to log in to the Nexus 5000
Series switch.
The expire date option format is YYYY-MM-DD.
The default is no expiry date.
Step 4
switch(config)# exit
switch#
Exits global configuration mode.
Step 5
switch# show user-account
(Optional) Displays the role configuration.
Step 6
switch# copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
