Cisco Cisco Aironet 3500e Access Point

If both the enable and enable secret passwords are defined, users must enter the enable secret password.

Use the level keyword to define a password for a specific privilege level. After you specify the level and 
set a password, give the password only to users who need to have access at this level. Use the privilege 
level global configuration command to specify commands accessible at various levels. For more 
information, see the 

.

If you enable password encryption, it applies to all passwords including username passwords, 
authentication key passwords, the privileged command password, and console and virtual terminal line 
passwords.

To remove a password and level, use the no enable password [level level] or no enable secret [level 
level] global configuration command. To disable password encryption, use the no service 
password-encryption global configuration command.

This example shows how to configure the encrypted password $1$FaD0$Xyti5Rkls3LoyxzS8 for 
privilege level 2:

AP(config)# enable secret level 2 5 $1$FaD0$Xyti5Rkls3LoyxzS8

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 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 wireless device. The password must be from 1 to 25 characters, 
can contain embedded spaces, and must be the last option specified 
in the username command.

You can configure username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the wireless device. These 
pairs are assigned to lines or interfaces and authenticate each user before that user can access the wireless 
device. 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.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to establish a username-based authentication 
system that requests a login username and a password:

Enter global configuration mode.

username name [privilege level] 
{password encryption-type password} 

Enter the username, privilege level, and password for each user.

Enable local password checking at login time. Authentication is based on 
the username specified in Step 2.

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Verify your entries.

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
