Understanding Admin and User Accounts

Two levels of account privilege are available, admin (for system administrators), and user (for
general users). An admin account is required to add additional accounts and assign account
privileges. The following table displays the account management commands used to create
and edit admin and user accounts.

Understanding Enable and Enable Secret Passwords

Some privileged EXEC commands are used for actions that impact the system, and it is rec-
ommended that you set a password for these commands to prevent unauthorized use. Two
types of passwords, enable (not encrypted) and enable secret (encrypted), can be set.
The following commands set these passwords and are issued in global configuration mode:

enable password

enable secret password

Abbreviating Commands

Typing a complete command name is not always required for the command to execute. The
CLI recognizes an abbreviated command when the abbreviation contains enough characters
to uniquely identify the command. For example, the show version command can be abbrevi-
ated as sh ver. It cannot be abbreviated as s ver because s could mean show, set, or systat.
The sh v abbreviation also is not valid because the show command has vrrp as a keyword in
addition to version. (Command and keyword examples are from Cisco IOS Release
12.4(13)T.)
User EXEC Show all user accounts in
local database.
User EXEC Show current privilege
level.
Admin EXEC Use "username" command
to add a new user account
or edit an existing user
account.
Admin EXEC Delete an existing user
account.
Admin EXEC Edit password for each priv-
ilege level for enable
authentication.
Admin EXEC Restore enable password to
default empty value.
