5.1 Users IDs and Security Levels

When you log in to an ONS 15600 SDH for the first time, you use the CISCO15 user ID, which is
provided with every ONS 15600 SDH system. You can use the CISCO15 ID, which has Superuser
privileges, to create other ONS 15600 SDH user IDs. For detailed instructions about creating users, refer
to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Procedure Guide.
Each ONS 15600 SDH permits up to 500 Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or TL1 user IDs. A user ID
is assigned one of the following security levels:

By default, multiple concurrent user ID sessions are permitted on the node, that is, multiple users can

per user and prevent concurrent logins for all users.
