The privilege-level indicates the number of the management privilege level you are augmenting.
You can specify one of the following:
• 0 – Super User level (full read-write access)
• 4 – Port Configuration level
• 5 – Read Only level
The command-string parameter specifies the command you are allowing users with the specified
privilege level to enter. To display a list of the commands at a CLI level, enter “?” at that level's
command prompt.
Recovering from a lost password
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.
NOTE
You can perform this procedure only from the CLI.
Follow the steps listed below to recover from a lost password.
1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the device.
2. Reboot the device.
3. At the initial boot prompt at system startup, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.) This command will
cause the device to bypass the system password check.
5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt, and enter y when asked “Are you sure?”.
6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
Displaying the SNMP community string
If you want to display the SNMP community string, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# enable password-display
Brocade(config)# show snmp server
