All,<div><br></div><div>I am encouraging all of you to use personal logins to the devices on our network. I will be managing the logins on all the Cisco boxes--the switches and AP's. To define a login, if you don't already have one, or are unsure if you have one, or if you have forgotten your password, please do the following:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Log into the first NOC switch (noc1-sw, 130.129.1.24) using the admin user. If you don't know what the password for admin is, please ask.</div><div><br></div><div>Once you're logged in, you can check to see if your login already exists by doing the following (in green):</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>noc1-sw#<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#33CC00">sho run | inc <user></font></div><div><br></div><div>Substituting your login for <user>. This will return something like:</div><div>
<br></div><div>username chelliot privilege 15 secret 5 $1$<a href="http://4.PR">4.PR</a>$4wTEaaG.G2z0wIo4scXqqY11</div><div><br></div></div><div>To add your own login, or to change your password, do the following:</div><div>
<br></div><div><div>noc1-sw#<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#33CC00">config t</font></div><div>Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.</div><div>noc1-sw(config)#<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#33CC00">username <user> priv 15 secret <password></font></div>
</div><div> </div><div>Substituting your login and password for <user> and <password>. The password should not start with a single number followed by a blank as Cisco uses that convention to distinguish different password encryption algorithms.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Finish up by typing:</div><div><br></div><div><div>noc1-sw(config)#<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#33CC00">exit</font></div><div>noc1-sw#<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#33CC00">exit</font></div>
<div>Connection to 130.129.1.24 closed.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Then use ssh to access this device using your new login. </div><div><br></div><div>If it works to your satisfaction, email me your username and I'll copy it to all other devices. Not that I will not know your password, just the encrypted string that the device stores.</div>
