Account guidelines and limitations

Be aware of the following guidelines and limitations:

• Extreme recommends that every user access the CLI through a unique account: After logging in as admin, create a unique account for yourself, specifying role admin.
• You cannot modify rules for the admin or the user default accounts.
• You cannot modify rules for the admin or the user default roles.
• By default, all account information is stored in the device-local user database.
• By default, user authentication and tracking of logins to the device is local.
• The maximum number of accounts—including the two default accounts—is 64. For more than 64 users, you can implement an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) service. For details, refer to the External Server Authentication section.
