You can create up to a maximum of 10 CLI users for each role, which includes:
3 default users (rwa, rw, and ro)—User Type = default
7 user defined users (rwa or rw or ro)—User Type = userDefined
User names for default users (rwa, rw, and ro) can be changed; however, user names for user defined users cannot be changed. User names support the following character types:
Users require a user name and password to connect to the switch. Users can log on through the local serial port, Telnet, SSH, or ftp. When a user is created, authentication is enabled, by default.
For security reasons, if a login attempt fails, the error feedback does not indicate if the failed login is due to an invalid user name or an invalid password. Response times for invalid user name and invalid user name and password pair are identical to prevent identification of which of the two failed.
Note
Multiple CLI users for each role does not apply in enhanced secure mode.
