Setting passwords
Setting passwords
Passwords can be used to secure the following access methods:
•
Telnet access can be secured by setting a Telnet password. Refer to
•
Access to the Privileged EXEC and CONFIG levels of the CLI can be secured by setting
passwords for management privilege levels. Refer to
“Setting passwords for management
This section also provides procedures for enhancing management privilege levels, recovering from
a lost password, and disabling password encryption.
NOTE
You also can configure up to 16 user accounts consisting of a user name and password, and assign
each user account a management privilege level. Refer to
“Setting up local user accounts”
Setting a Telnet password
By default, the device does not require a user name or password when you log in to the CLI using
Telnet. You can assign a password for Telnet access using one of the following methods.
Set the password “letmein” for Telnet access to the CLI using the following command at the global
CONFIG level.
TurboIron(config)#enable telnet password letmein
Syntax: [no] enable telnet password
Suppressing Telnet connection rejection messages
By default, if a device denies Telnet management access to the device, the software sends a
message to the denied Telnet client. You can optionally suppress the rejection message. When you
enable the option, a denied Telnet client does not receive a message from the device. Instead, the
denied client simply does not gain access.
To suppress the connection rejection message, use the following CLI method.
To suppress the connection rejection message sent by the device to a denied Telnet client, enter
the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
TurboIron(config)#telnet server suppress-reject-message
Syntax: [no] telnet server suppress-reject-message
Setting passwords for management privilege levels
You can set one password for each of the following management privilege levels:
•
Super User level – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for
system administrators and is the only management privilege level that allows you to configure
passwords.
•
Port Configuration level – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global
(system-wide) parameters.
