How to Create A New user on the HP Procurve A Series Switch.
Before I show you how to create a new user on the HP Procurve switch/Router we need to decide what level of user we are going to create. Below you will see the 4 different levels of user.
| Visitor | 0 | Basic commands such as telnet,ping and traceroute. This user cannot save the configuration of the switch |
| Monitor | 1 | These accounts are used for fault diagnosis,the user can use the display command but is still not allowed to save the configuration. |
| System | 2 | This user can run ost commands including route commands and is also allowed to save the configuration |
| Manager | 3 | Can run all commands and browse the file system of the switch |
Now we know all the levels of user access, decide what access level your user will need. The command we use to create a user is called local-user/ Below we create a user called allen, who will be a manager.
local-user allen
We specify his password of letmein
password simple letmein
We now specify what level of access this user needs, we decided on manager level which is 3.
authentication-attribute level 3
Your user is now created.

Hi Allen,
I am managing a 5130.
It seems crazy, but how may I delete an user?
I tried “undo” local-user with no success.
undo local-user xxx ?
class Specify a class for the local user
What class is it? I mean… I can’t see class on the local-user details.
Regards,
