User Access Rights

Passwords and
Secrets
All output from the CLI commands is limited to the standard 80
columns supported by most Telnet interfaces. The output is
left-justified.
The command line interface (CLI) allows a single Telnet client to be
connected to the switch. If a Telnet client logs out, or if after 15
minutes of inactivity the client's access times out, another Telnet
client may log in. Also note that the Telnet client (user) must log in
any time the director or switch is restarted because the current user's
access is lost. Examples of a restart include an initial program load
(IPL) and any power-off situation.
The CLI supports two user access rights: administrator and operator. A
user who logs in with administrator access rights can use all of the
commands described in this publication. Operator access rights grant
permission to use only the perf and show branches of the CLI
command tree (for example, the perf.traffic and show.system
commands) with the following exceptions: operator cannot access the
show.preferredPath, show.security, and show.thresholdAlerts commands.
Operators can also execute the globally available commands (login,
logout, and commaDelim).
Some commands require the user to enter a password or secret before
the command can be executed.
Passwords can be ASCII characters in the range of 32 to 126.
Secrets can be any ASCII character (0-255). Non-printable and
extended ASCII characters can be entered by using a backslash. Two
hexadecimal characters must follow the backslash. All printable
ASCII characters can be entered using the keyboard or using its
hexadecimal value except for the backslash character. If a backslash
is desired as part of the password its hexadecimal representation
must be used. Spaces are valid, but the whole password must be in
quotes, or you need to use the hexadecimal for the quote. Also, when
you login to CLI you will need to use quotes around the password
again. The following are examples of valid secrets.
