Task: learn how to manage users on 3Com switches. How to change or set a password for the administrator or another user. How to create or delete a user.
This will describe actions for both the menu-driven type of switches (for example, 4200, 4400, 4900) and the command-driven type (for example, 4500).
The menu-driven type looks like this:
Menu options: --------------3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4900---------------
bridge - Administer bridge-wide parameters
gettingStarted - Basic device configuration
logout - Logout of the Command Line Interface
physicalInterface - Administer physical interfaces
protocol - Administer protocols
security - Administer security
system - Administer system-level functions
trafficManagement - Administer traffic management
Type ? for help
----------------------------------------- (1)---------------------------
Select menu option:
The command-driven type looks like this:
<4500>
%Apr 3 21:48:45:330 2000 4500 SHELL/5/LOGIN:- 1 - VTY(10.0.0.2) in unit1 login
<4500>system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[4500]
Going forward I'll assume that you're familiar with managing these types and will understand which commands I'm entering. For the menu-driven type - its own, for the command-driven type - its own.
Don't forget to enter system mode in the command-driven type:
<4500> system-view
Menu-drivenChange (set) a user's password:
sec dev user mod
Select the user name (admin,manager,monitor): admin
Enter the password:
Re-enter the password:
Enter the community string [private]:
Where instead of admin you can specify the user for whom you're setting the password. And, accordingly, at the "Enter password" and "Re-enter password" prompts, enter the new password.
The "Community string" is used as a key for accessing this switch via SNMP.
You can view the created users like this:
sec dev user sum
Create a user:
sec dev user create
Enter a new user name: myuser
Enter the access level (monitor,manager,security)[security]: manager
Enter the password:
Re-enter the password:
Enter the community string [myuser]:
Delete a user, accordingly:
sec dev user delete
Command-driven typeChange (set) a user's password:
[4500] local-user admin
[4500-luser-admin] password simple MYSUPERPASSWORD
where instead of admin you can specify another user, and instead of MYSUPERPASSWORD you need to specify the new password.
Show the currently created users:
[4500] display local-user
Specify the default administration level for a user (from 0 to 3):
[4500] local-user myuser
[4500-luser-myuser] level 3
where instead of myuser - specify the username, and instead of 3 - the default administration level.
Create a new user:
[4500] local-user mynewuser
New local user added.
where instead of mynewuser - specify the login of the new user. After creating the user, don't forget to set a password for them using the password command.
Delete a user:
[4500] undo local-user myuser
where instead of myuser specify the login of the user you're deleting.
Warning! No confirmations will be requested!
These are the basic operations with users on 3Com switches.
