Router Access
Username
Enter or edit the username in this field.
Password
Enter or edit the password in this field.
Confirm Password
Reenter the password in this field. If the password and the confirm password do
not match, an error message window appears when you click OK.
When you click OK, the new or edited account information appears in the
Configure User Accounts for Telnet window.
Encrypt password using MD5 hash algorithm Check Box
Check if you want the password to be encrypted using the one-way Message
Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm, which provides strong encryption protection.
Note Protocols that require the retrieval of clear text passwords, such as CHAP, cannot
be used with MD5-encrypted passwords. MD5 encryption is not reversible. To
restore the password to clear text, you must delete the user account and re-create
it without checking the Encrypt password option.
Privilege Level
Enter the privilege level for the user. When applied to a CLI command, that
command can only be executed by users with a privilege level equal to or higher
than the level set for the command.
Associate a View with the user
This field is displayed when you are setting up user accounts for router access. It
may not be visible if you are working in a different area of Cisco SDM.
Check the Associate a View with the user option if you want to restrict user
access to a specific view. If you associate a view with any user for the first time,
you are prompted to enter the view password. This option is only available in the
Router Access node of the Additional Tasks tree.
