DETAILED STEPS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure

Enters global configuration mode.

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure

 

Step 2

 

 

username user-name

Creates a name for a new user (or identifies a current user)

 

 

 

and enters username configuration submode.

 

 

Example:

The user-nameargument can be only one word. Spaces

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# username user1

and quotation marks are not allowed.

Step 3

 

 

password {0 7} password

Specifies a password for the user named in Step 2.

 

 

or

Use the secret command to create a secure login

 

 

secret {0 5} password

 

 

password for the user names specified in Step 2.

 

 

 

 

 

Example:

Entering 0 following the password command specifies

 

 

that an unencrypted (clear-text) password follows.

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-un)# password 0

 

 

Entering 7 following the password command specifies

 

 

pwd1

 

 

or

that an encrypted password follows.

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-un)# secret 5 pwd1

Entering 0 following the secret command specifies that

 

 

 

 

 

 

a secure unencrypted (clear-text) password follows.

 

 

 

Entering 5 following the secret command specifies that

 

 

 

a secure encrypted password follows.

 

 

 

Type 0 is the default for the password and secret

 

 

 

commands.

Step 4

 

 

group group-name

Assigns the user named in Step 2 to a user group.

 

 

 

The user takes on all attributes of the user group, as

 

 

Example:

defined by the user group association to various task

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-un)# group

groups.

 

 

sysadmin

Each user must be assigned to at least one user group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A user may belong to multiple user groups.

 

 

 

Step 5 Repeat Step 4 for each user group to be associated with

 

 

the user specified in Step 2.

 

Step 6

 

 

commit

Saves configuration changes and activates them as part of

 

 

 

the running configuration.

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-un)# commit

A9KMOD80TR, A9K24X10GETR, ASR 9000 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking technology, providing cutting-edge solutions for service providers and enterprise organizations alike. Among their standout products is the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, notably the A9K24X10GETR and the A9KMOD80TR models. These routers are engineered to deliver unmatched performance, scalability, and versatility for networks that require high bandwidth and low latency.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built for the needs of today's complex service provider and enterprise networks. A significant feature of the A9K24X10GETR is its 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. This functionality allows for high-density connectivity, making it ideal for aggregating numerous connections to different parts of a network while maintaining optimal performance. Whether used for Internet service providers delivering high-speed connectivity or for enterprises looking to connect multiple branches, the A9K24X10GETR provides robust and reliable data transmission.

Further enhancing the capabilities of the ASR 9000 is the A9KMOD80TR module, which supports an extensive range of services. This module is designed to run a variety of technologies, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), and IPv6. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures while providing the advanced features customers demand makes it an invaluable asset for network engineering teams.

Another cutting-edge technology present in the ASR 9000 Series is its support for eBGP (External Border Gateway Protocol), which plays a critical role in managing traffic across multiple networks. The routers are equipped with advanced telemetry features, empowering operators with real-time insights into network performance and health. Additionally, they come with integrated security features that protect against DDoS threats and other vulnerabilities.

In summary, Cisco's ASR 9000 Series, particularly the A9K24X10GETR and A9KMOD80TR, combines high-density connections, extensive service support, and advanced security and telemetry capabilities. These routers are perfect for demanding environments where reliable performance and adaptability are crucial. With their focus on innovation and performance, Cisco continues to shape the future of networking technology.
