Configuring Security Passwords
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
• Console
• Telnet
• SSH
• HTTP
• HTTPS
NOTE:
When creating a user name, the default priority is "1", which allows access but not configuration
rights. A priority of "15" must be set to enable access and configuration rights to the switch.

console(config)#aaa authentication login default line

console(config-line)#password secret123
• When initially logging on to a switch through a console session, enter secret123 at the
password prompt.
• When changing a switch's mode to enable, enter secret123 at the password prompt.
