D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual

Adding and Clearing Local Users for Administrative Access
Usernames and passwords can be stored locally on the switch. D-Link recommends that you enforce
console authentication after the initial configuration to prevent anyone with unauthorized access
to the console from logging in. The local database on the switch is the simplest way to store user
information.
To configure a user in the local database, type the following command:
set user
username
password [encrypted]
password
For example, to configure user Jose with the password
spRin9
in the local database on the switch, type
the following command:
DWS-1008#
set user Jose password spRin9
success: User Jose created
The encrypted option indicates that the password string you are entering is the encrypted form of the
password. Use this option only if you do not want MSS to encrypt the password for you.
To clear a user from the local database, type the following command:
clear user
username
Configuring Accounting for Administrative Users
Accounting allows you to track network resources. Accounting records can be updated for three important
events: when the user is first connected, when the user roams from one DWL-8220AP access point to
another, and when the user terminates his or her session. The default for accounting is of.
To configure accounting for administrative logins, use the following command:
set accounting {admin | console}
{user-glob}
{start-stop | stop-only}
method1 [method2]
[method3] [method4]
To configure accounting for administrative logins over the network at EXAMPLE, enter the following
command:
set accounting admin EXAMPLE\* start-stop | stop-only
aaa-method
