Note: The syntax of the configuration commands and their ‘no’ forms are different; the ‘no’ forms
usually do not take as many parameters.
This is usually convenient but may give surprising results in certain cases. For example, an OAM
MEP instance can configure Continuity Check using ‘mep num cc priority ...’ and reset it with
‘no mep num cc’. However, because MEPs are removed using the command ‘no mep num’, it
is possible to unintentionally remove an existing MEP by entering ‘no mep 10 ccc’ – the extra
‘c’ means that the last word isn’t recognized as ‘cc’, leading to a match of the MEP removal
command instead of the desired reset-CC command.
Managing Users
The following describes local user management on the device. RADIUS and TACACS+ user
management is beyond the scope of this document.
It is possible to create several user accounts on a system. Each user account has a set of
configurable attributes:
» User name
» Password
» Privilege level
All attributes are configured with the same command, username.
username username privilege level password { unencrypted | encrypted } password username
username privilege level password none
no username username
The command password none is used when no password is desired. The security implications of
using this should be considered carefully. Likewise, no username deletes the given user account.
Adding, Modifying, and Deletion Users
The following example adds two user accounts at different privilege levels, inspects configuration,
and deletes one account again using ‘no username’.
