60 User Account Commands
The following example specifies the default authentication method when
accessing a higher privilege level console.
(CN1610)(config)# line console
(CN1610)(config-line)# enable authentication default
no enable
authentication
Use this command to return to the default specified by the
enable
authentication
command.
username (Global
Config)
Use the
username
command in Global Config mode to add a new user to the local
user database. The default privilege level is 1. Using the
encrypted
keyword
allows the administrator to transfer local user passwords between devices without
having to know the passwords. When the
password
parameter is used along with
encrypted
parameter, the password must be exactly 128 hexadecimal characters
in length. If the password strength feature is enabled, this command checks for
password strength and returns an appropriate error if it fails to meet the password
strength criteria. Giving the optional parameter
override-complexity-check
disables the validation of the password strength.
