Configuring the Brocade ICX 6650
Assigning permanent passwords
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly
recommends assigning passwords. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:
•
Super User - Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
•
Port Configuration - Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide)
parameters.
•
Read Only - Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read
access.
Setting passwords
1.
At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged EXEC mode:
device> enable
2.
Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
device(config)#
3.
Enter the following command to set the Super User password:
device(config)# enable super-user-password text
NOTE
You must set the Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
4.
Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:
device(config)# enable port-config-password text
device(config)# enable read-only-password text
