Create User on HPE 5500

sys
local-user INSERTUSERNAME
password cipher INSERTPASSWORD
service-type ssh terminal
authorization-attribute level 3
ssh user INSERTUSERNAME service-type stelnet authentication-type password
save

  • Type the password in plaintext after “password cipher”, unless you already have the cipher on a HPE 5500 for that user.

Create User on HPE 5510

sys
local-user INSERTUSERNAME class manage
password simple INSERTPASSWORD
service-type ssh terminal
authorization-attribute user-role network-admin
authorization-attribute user-role network-operator
quit
ssh user INSERTUSERNAME service-type stelnet authentication-type password
quit
save

  • Type the password in plaintext after “password simple” unless you already have the hash and then type “password hash”

Create User on Aruba OS-CX

user INSERTUSERNAME group administrators password plaintext INSERTPASSWORD

  • The password needs to be entered as plaintext, but then it ciphers it so it can’t be seen. You can then copy your cipher to other AOX-CX switches.
