How to Configure Local Authentication and Authorization
• For name, specify the user ID as one word. Spaces and
quotation marks are not allowed.
• (Optional) For level, specify the privilege level the user has
after gaining access. The range is 0 to 15. Level 15 gives
privileged EXEC mode access. Level 0 gives user EXEC mode
access.
• For encryption-type, enter 0 to specify that an unencrypted
password follows. Enter 7 to specify that a hidden password
follows.
• For password, specify the password the user must enter to
gain access to the switch. The password must be from 1 to 25
characters, can contain embedded spaces, and must be the last
option specified in the username command.
