Local user accounts

Example 

Syntax: username name enable

Setting passwords to expire

You can set a user password to expire. Once a password expires, the administrator must assign a 
new password to the user. To configure a user password to expire, enter the following.

Brocade(config)# username sandy expires 20

Syntax: username name expires days

Enter 1–365 for number of days. The default is 90 days. 

Example 

Requirement to accept the message of the day

If a message of the day (MOTD) is configured, a user will be required to press the Enter key before 
he or she can login. MOTD is configured using the banner motd command.

There are no new CLI commands for this feature. 

NOTE

This requirement is disabled by default, unless configured. Users are not required to press Enter 
after the MOTD banner is displayed. Refer to Brocade ICX 6650 Administration Guide.

Local user account configuration

You can create accounts for local users with or without passwords. Accounts with passwords can 
have encrypted or unencrypted passwords.

You can assign privilege levels to local user accounts, but on a new device, you must create a local 
user account that has a Super User privilege before you can create accounts with other privilege 
levels.
