Administering the WMIC
This example shows how to configure the encrypted password $1$FaD0$Xyti5Rkls3LoyxzS8 for
privilege level 2:
bridge(config)# enable secret level 2 5 $1$FaD0$Xyti5Rkls3LoyxzS8
Configuring Username and Password Pairs
You can configure username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the WMIC. These pairs are
assigned to lines or interfaces, and they authenticate each user before that user can access the WMIC. If
you have defined privilege levels, you can also assign a specific privilege level (with associated rights
and privileges) to each username and password pair.
To establish a username-based authentication system that requests a login username and a password,
follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
username name [privilege level]
{password encryption-type password}
Step 3
login local
Step 4
end
Step 5
show running-config
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To disable username authentication for a specific user, use the no username name command in global
configuration mode.
To disable password checking and allow connections without a password, use the no login command in
line configuration mode.
Note
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enters the username, privilege level, and password for each user.

Enables local password checking at login time. Authentication is based on
the username specified in Step 2.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Verifies your entries.
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
You must have at least one username configured and you must set your local login to open a
Telnet session to the WMIC. If you enter no username for the only username, you can be locked
out of the WMIC.
For name, specify the user ID as one word. Spaces and quotation
marks are not allowed.
(Optional) For level, specify the privilege level the user has after
gaining access. The range is from 0 to 15. Level 15 gives privileged
EXEC mode access. Level 1 gives user EXEC mode access.
For encryption-type, enter 0 to specify that an unencrypted password
will follow. Enter 7 to specify that a hidden password will follow.
For password, specify the password the user must enter to gain access
to the WMIC. The password must be from 1 to 25 characters, can
contain embedded spaces, and must be the last option specified in the
username command.
