Creating an encrypted all-numeric password
To create a password that is made up of all numeric values, use the command "username
<user-string> privilege <privilege-level> password <password-string>."
BigIron RX# username customer1 create-password 9999
Syntax: [no] username <user-string> create-password <password-string>
The create-password option allows you to create a password with a numeric value in the
<password-string> variable. The generated password will be encrypted. The show running-config
command displays the password as shown.
BigIron RX(config)# username sandy 8 tomorrow
BigIron RX#show user

Granting access by time of day
To configure an device to restrict access user access during a specified time of day, use the
following command.
BigIron RX(config)# username admin1 access-time 10:00:00 to 13:00:00
Syntax: [no] username <user-string> access-time <hh:mm:ss> to <hh:mm:ss>
The <user-string> variable specifies the user that you want to limit access time for.
The first instance of the <hh:mm:ss> variable specifies the start of the access time and the second
instance of the <hh:mm:ss> variable specifies the end of the access time.
Configuring SSL security for the Web Management Interface
When enabled, the SSL protocol uses digital certificates and public-private key pairs to establish a
secure connection to the device. Digital certificates serve to prove the identity of a connecting
client, and public-private key pairs provide a means to encrypt data sent between the device and
the client.
