Security

Defining Users

Protection from other network users is described in the following sections. These are attacks that pass
through, but are not directed at, the device.
• Denial of Service Prevention
• SSL Server
• Defining Storm Control
• Configuring Port Security
Defining Users
The default username/password is cisco/cisco. The first time that you log in with the default username and
password, you are required to enter a new password. Password complexity is enabled by default. If the
password that you choose is not complex enough (Password Complexity Settings are enabled in the
Password Strength page), you are prompted to create another password.
Setting User Accounts
The User Accounts page enables entering additional users that are permitted to access to the device
(read-only or read-write) or changing the passwords of existing users.
After adding a user (as described below), the default user is removed from the system.
NOTE
To add a new user:
STEP 1

end user, with physical access to the console port of the device, can enter the
boot menu and trigger the password recovery process. When the boot system
process ends, you are allowed to login to the device without password
authentication. Entering the device is allowed only via the console and only when
the console is connected to the device with physical access.
