Creating a New User with a Privilege Level
The username command, in Global Configuration mode, establishes a username-based
authentication system.
The command creates a new user, assigns a password to this user, and specifies the access
privilege level for this user.
If a password confirmation is required, the second password must be identical to the first.
By default, the local user is assigned privilege level 0 and RADIUS users are assigned
privilege level 15.
