Configuring a Username and Password
In Dell Networking OS, you can assign a specific username to limit user access to the system.
To configure a username and password, use the following command.
• Assign a user name and password.
CONFIGURATION mode
username name [access-class access-list-name] [nopassword | password
[encryption-type] password] [privilege level][secret]
Configure the optional and required parameters:
• name: Enter a text string up to 63 characters long.
• access-class access-list-name: Enter the name of a configured IP ACL.
• nopassword: Do not require the user to enter a password.
• encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
• password: Enter a string.
• privilege level The range is from 0 to 15.
• Secret:Specify the secret for the user
To view username, use the show users command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Configuring the Enable Password Command
To configure Dell Networking OS, use the enable command to enter EXEC Privilege level 15. After entering
the command, Dell Networking OS requests that you enter a password.
Privilege levels are not assigned to passwords, rather passwords are assigned to a privilege level. You can
always change a password for any privilege level. To change to a different privilege level, enter the enable
command, then the privilege level. If you do not enter a privilege level, the default level 15 is assumed.
To configure a password for a specific privilege level, use the following command.
• Configure a password for a privilege level.
CONFIGURATION mode
enable password [level level] [encryption-mode] password
Configure the optional and required parameters:
• level level: Specify a level from 0 to 15. Level 15 includes all levels.
• encryption-type: Enter 0 for clear text, 7 for DES-encrypted text, or 8 for sha256-based
encrypted text.
• password: Enter a string.
To change only the password for the enable command, configure only the password parameter.
