Default Users Template

Use this page to manage the default users and, if desired, require a password with the highest user privilege level when using the Command Line Interface.

Default User Accounts

n	Each appliance has two default users, admin and monitor, who cannot be deleted.

n	You can, however, assign a new password for either one, and apply it to any appliances you wish.

Command Line Interface privileges

n	The Command Line Interface (CLI) for Silver Peak physical (NX) appliances has three command modes. In order of increasing permissions, they are User EXEC Mode, Privileged EXEC Mode, and Global Configuration Mode.

n	When you first log into a Silver Peak appliance via a console port, you are in User EXEC Mode. This provides access to commands for many non-configuration tasks, such as checking the appliance status.

n	To access the next level, Privileged EXEC Mode, you would enter the enable command. With this template, you can choose to associate and enforce a password with the enable command.

Guidelines for Creating Passwords

n	Passwords should be a minimum of 8 characters.

n	There should be at least one lower case letter and one upper case letter.

n	There should be at least one digit.

n	There should be at least one special character.

n	Consecutive letters in the password should not form words found in the dictionary.
