see the System Administration Guide.
Important
Context-level Security Administrator and Hostname
You must configure a context-level security administrator during the initial configuration. After completing
the initial configuration process and ending the CLI session, if you have not configured a security
administrator CLI access will be locked.
Important
Step 1
At the CLI prompt, enter config.
[local]asr5500# config
[local]asr5500(config)#
Step 2
Enter the context configuration mode by entering context local.
The local context is the system's management context. Contexts allow you to logically group services or interfaces. A
single context can consist of multiple services and can be bound to multiple interfaces. Enter context local at the CLI
prompt.
[local]asr5500(config) context local
[local]asr5500(config-ctx)#
Step 3
Enter the following command to configure a context-level security administrator for the system:
administrator name { password password
| encrypted password enc_password } [ ftp ] [
no-cli ]
[ timeout-absolute absolute_time ] [
timeout-idle idle_time ]
DescriptionKeyword/Variable
Specifies the security administrator's name as an alphanumeric string of 1 through
32 characters that is case sensitive.
name
Specifies the password for the security administrator as an alphanumeric string
of 1 through 63 characters that is case sensitive.
password password
Specifies the encrypted password for the security administrator. This keyword is
only used by the system when you save configuration scripts. The system displays
the encrypted keyword in the configuration file as a flag indicating that the variable
following the keyword is the encrypted version of the plain text password. Only
the encrypted password is saved as part of the configuration file.
encrypted password
Specifies that the security administrator is allowed to access the system with the
File Transfer Protocol (FTP). This option is useful to upload files (configuration
or software images).
Note: In release 20.0 and higher Trusted StarOS builds, FTP is disabled.
