Setting User Access Limits Using Acli; Setting The System User Name And Password Using Acli - Avaya 3500 Quick Start Configuration

Connecting to the switch
Important:
Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP process eventually times out if
a reply is not received. When the process times out, the BootP request mode automatically
changes to BootP or Default IP mode. To restart the BootP process, change the BootP request
mode to any of the following modes:
• Always
• Disabled
• Last
• Default-ip

Setting user access limits using ACLI

The administrator can use ACLI to limit user access by creating and maintaining passwords for web,
telnet, and console access. This is a two-step process that requires that you first create the
password and then enable it.

Setting the system user name and password using ACLI

Use the following procedure to configure the system user name and password for access through
the serial console port and Telnet. This procedure supports only one read-only and one read-write
user on the switch.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. At the command prompt, enter the following command:
username <username> <password> [<ro | rw>]
3. To set the username and password to the system default settings, enter the following
command:
default username [<ro | rw>]
Note:
After you configure the user name and password with the username command, you
can update the password without changing the username by using the cli password
command, the console interface, or EDM.
