Setting Admin User Privileges Via A Telnet Connection - Cisco D9854 Installation And Operation Manual

Setting Admin User Privileges via a Telnet Connection

Administrator User Privileges
Up to 10 usernames/passwords can be defined for login use via a telnet or Web
GUI (i.e., http) session on the D9854 receiver.
When a user tries to login via a telnet or http connection, the user is required to
provide a username and a password. The user is granted access only if this
username/password pair exists in the authentication table.
The first user defined in the authentication table is considered the "Admin User"
and is granted special privileges. The Admin user is allowed to add new users,
delete users, change usernames and modify his own passwords. All other users are
only allowed to modify their passwords.
Starting a Telnet Session
To start a communication session with the receiver using a utility such as Telnet or
Tera Term Pro, type the following command:
1. telnet <ip address>
2.
At the username prompt, enter the default username:
<admin>
3.
At the password prompt, enter the default username:
<localadmin>
Adding a New User
To add a new user, type the following command:
pwd add_user <new username> <new password> <confirmed_password>
Note: The <new password> and <confirmed_password> should be identical and
the new username should not match any of the usernames already defined in the
authentication table.
Deleting a User
To delete a user, type the following command:
pwd del_user < username>
Changing a Username
To modify a username, type the following command:
pwd change_username < username> < new_username> <confirmed_username>
Note: The <new username> and <confirmed_username> should be identical and
the new username should not match any of the usernames already defined in the
authentication table.
