create account
create account [admin | user] <account-name> {encrypted <password>}
Description
Creates a new user account.
Syntax Description
Default
By default, the switch is configured with two accounts with the access levels shown in Table 7.
You can use the default names (admin and user), or you can create new names and passwords for the
accounts. Default accounts do not have passwords assigned to them.
Usage Guidelines
The switch can have a total of 16 user accounts. The system must have one administrator account.
When you use the
encrypted keyword, the following password that you specify in plain text is entered
and displayed by the switch in an encrypted format. Administrators should not use the encrypted
option and should enter the password in plain text. The encrypted option is used by the switch after
encrypting the plain text password. The encrypted option should be used by the switch only to show,
store, and load a system-generated encrypted password in configuration; this applies with the following
commands:
save configuration, show configuration, and use configuration.
admin Specifies an access level for account type admin.
user Specifies an access level for account type user.
account-name Specifies a new user account name. See “Usage Guidelines” for more
information.
encrypted Specifies the encrypted option.
password Specifies a user password. See “Usage Guidelines” for more information.
