set system login
Enterasys C3 Configuration Guide 5-7
Defaults
If an optional parameter is not specified, the default value for that parameter as described above is 
applied. 
Mode
Switch command, super user.
Usage
Login accounts, including super-user accounts, can be locked out after multiple failed attempts to 
log in to the system. Refer to “show system lockout” on page 5-17 and “set system lockout” on 
page 5-18 for more information about lockout parameters.
If the password reset button functionality is enabled, if the admin user account has been locked 
out, pressing the reset button on the switch will re-enable the admin user account with all its 
default values. (Refer to “set system password-resetbutton” on page 5-10 for more information.)
Examples
This example shows how to enable a new user account with the login name “netops” with super 
user access privileges:
C3(su)->set system login netops super-user enable
allowed-interval 
HH:MM HH:MM
(Optional) Specifies the start and end hour HH and minute MM time 
period for which access will be allowed for this user based upon 24 hour 
time. Not applicable for super user. 
If no values are configured with this parameter, no start or end times are 
applied, 
allowed-days [Sun] 
[Mon] [Tue] [Wed] 
[Thu] [Fri] [Sat]
(Optional) Specifies at least 1 and up to 7 days of the week for which 
access will be allowed for this user. Not applicable for super user.
If no values are configured with this parameter, all days are allowed. If 
any value is configured, access is allowed only for the configured days.
local-only yes|no  (Optional) Specifies the authentication scope for this user. Valid values:
• yes — specifies that authentication is only by way of the local user 
database even with RADIUS or TACACS+ configured. 
• no — specifies that authentication is by way of configured methods. 
This is the default value.
aging days (Optional) Specifies the number of days to age the password. A non-zero 
value supercedes the aging configured in set system password, for this 
user. Valid values for days are 0 to 365. Default value is 0.
simultaneous-
logins logins
(Optional) Limits the number of simultaneous logins from the user. Valid 
range for logins is 0 to 3. 0 = limited only to the number of sessions 
supported  by the platform.  A value of 1 specifies the user may have only 
one login session.
password password (Optional) This parameter is intended for use only in configurations 
generated by the show config outfile command. Since the value of 
password must be an encrypted string, you cannot enter a valid value 
using the CLI.
Use the set password command (page 5-9) to configure user account 
passwords.
