Local user accounts
NOTE
You must grant Super User level privilege to at least one account before you add accounts with other
privilege levels. You need the Super User account to make further administrative changes.
Local user accounts with no passwords
To create a user account without a password, enter the following command at the global CONFIG
level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# username wonka nopassword
Syntax: [no] username user-string privilege privilege-level nopassword
Local user accounts with unencrypted passwords
If you want to use unencrypted passwords for local user accounts, enter a command such as the
following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# username wonka password willy
If password masking is enabled, press the [Enter] key before entering the password.
Brocade(config)# username wonka
Enter Password: willy
The above commands add a local user account with the user name “wonka” and the password
“willy”. This account has the Super User privilege level; this user has full access to all configuration
and display features.
Brocade(config)# username waldo privilege 5 password whereis
This command adds a user account for user name “waldo”, password “whereis”, with the Read
Only privilege level. Waldo can look for information but cannot make configuration changes.
Syntax: [no] username user-string privilege privilege-level password | nopassword password-string
You can enter up to 48 character s for user-string.
The privilege privilege-level parameter specifies the privilege level for the account. You can specify
one of the following:
•0 – Super User level (full read-write access)
•4 – Port Configuration level
•5 – Read Only level
The default privilege level is 0. If you want to assign Super User level access to the account, you can
enter the command without privilege 0, as shown in the command example above.
The password | nopassword parameter indicates whether the user must enter a password. If you
specify password, enter the string for the user's password. You can enter up to 48 characters for
password-string. If strict password enforcement is enabled on the device, you must enter a
minimum of eight characters containing the following combinations:
•At least two upper case characters
•At least two lower case characters
•At least two numeric characters
