Adding And Clearing Local Users For Administrative Access; Configuring Accounting For Administrative Users - D-Link DWS-1008 - AirPremier MobileLAN Switch Product Manual

Adding and Clearing Local Users for Administrative Access

Usernames and passwords can be stored locally on the switch. D-Link recommends that you enforce
console authentication after the initial configuration to prevent anyone with unauthorized access
to the console from logging in. The local database on the switch is the simplest way to store user
information.
To configure a user in the local database, type the following command:
set user username password [encrypted] password
For example, to configure user Jose with the password spRin9 in the local database on the switch, type
the following command:
DWS-1008# set user Jose password spRin9
success: User Jose created
The encrypted option indicates that the password string you are entering is the encrypted form of the
password. Use this option only if you do not want MSS to encrypt the password for you.
To clear a user from the local database, type the following command:
clear user username

Configuring Accounting for Administrative Users

another, and when the user terminates his or her session. The default for accounting is of.

set accounting {admin | console} {user-glob} {start-stop | stop-only} method1 [method2]
[method3] [method4]
