Assigning permanent passwords
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are intended for qualified service personnel.
This chapter provides the details for connecting network devices and checking network
connectivity.
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly
recommends assigning passwords.
NOTE
You can assign passwords using Brocade Network Advisor if an enable password for a Super User
has been configured on the device.
The CLI contains the following access levels:
•
User EXEC—The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view
some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.
•
Privileged EXEC—Also called the Enable level, and can be secured by a password. At this level,
you can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system
configuration to flash, and clear caches.
•
CONFIG—This level lets you configure the system IP address, and switching and routing
features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of
the EXEC mode (the Enable level).
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.
