Creating a User Account

This section will discuss how to create a login username and password on this Switch. This login
details will be applied not only for access to the CLI, but also for access to the Web UI, Telnet, SSH,
and SSL interfaces. The same username and password will be used for these connections.
To create a user account, enter the following commands.
Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# username Administrator password 12345
Switch(config)# username Administrator privilege 15
Switch(config)# line console
Switch(config-line)# login local
Switch(config-line)#
In the above example,
• We accessed the Privileged EXEC Mode by entering the command enable.
• Then we entered the Global Configuration Mode by entering the command configure
terminal.
• Then we created a user account with the username of 'Administrator' and gave it the
password of '12345' by entering the command username Administrator password 12345.
• Then we assigned the privilege level of 15 to this user account by entering the command
username Administrator privilege 15. The highest level access is 15 and the lowest level
access is 1.
• Then we entered the LINE Configuration Mode by entering the command line console.
• Then we configured the Switch to allow access to the management interface by using locally
configured user accounts. The command is login local.
NOTE: CLI configuration commands only modifying the running configuration file and are

Configuring the IP Address

There are two methods a Switch can obtain an IP address.
• The Switch can obtain an IP address from a DHCP server located within the local network. By
default, this option is not enabled.
• The administrator can manually configure an IP address for this Switch.
