Setting Up Passwords Initial Configuration
4.5 SETTING UP PASSWORDS
You can password-protect CLI access to the RS 3000, RS 3100 or RS 3200, by setting up passwords for User mode
access, Enable mode access, and Diag mode access. Users who have a User password but not an Enable password can
use only the commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable password can use commands available in the
Enable and Configure modes, as well as the commands in User mode.
In addition, you can set up the RS 3000, RS 3100 or RS 3200, for TACACS, TACACS+, and/or RADIUS
authentication by a TACACS or RADIUS server. Procedures for configuring the RS 3000, RS 3100 or RS 3200, for
TACACS and RADIUS can be found in the Riverstone RS Switch Router User Guide.
To add password protection to the CLI, use the following procedure.
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
3. Type the following command for each password you want to set:
4. Use the show command to examine the commands you just entered.
5. Use the save active command to activate the commands.
6. Exit the Configuration mode, then use the system show active-config command to verify the
active changes.
Here is an example of the commands in the previous steps:
Notice that the passwords are shown in the Active configuration in an encrypted format. Passwords also appear this
way in the Startup configuration. To keep your passwords secure, the RS 3000, RS 3100 or RS 3200 does not have a
command for displaying passwords in an unencrypted format.
