Author Setup an additional account
Reinhard

2004-05-01, 11:30 pm

Hello,

I was asked to setup an additional local account on our cisco 2611.
Unfortunattely our cisco administrators are not in the office this
week - so I have to find a way.

I read a lot of documentation but not all questions were answered.
As far as I know I have to do the following

-Logon to the router
-change to privilege mode ( enable mode !? )
-type "configure terminal"
-type "username THEUSER privilege 15 password THEPASSWORD"
-type "write" to make it persistence
-exit

Is this true??
In some documentation I found that aaa new-model - what does this
mean.
We don't use tacas or radius etc... just local accounts.

Thank you
Reinhard

P.S. excuse my bad english

If you're just adding a new account - you're correct with the:
> -type "username THEUSER privilege 15 password THEPASSWORD"

statement.

If you do a "show run" and there is no "aaa new-model" then you should
be all set...

I think you already have the answer...

Thats about it. You'll also want to change the line that reads login to
login local and you're all set

Hello Secret Squirrel,
thanx for the answer. What means change the line that reads login to local login?

Thank you

It tells the router to refer to the local security database for logins. If
you dont do this it will still use the default login and secret passwords.
You could also set it so that it refers to a Radius or Tacacs+ server or so
that it checks first local then default or just about any combination.
