In Brocade switches, users can be created and also customize the role as well. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) specifies the permissions that a user account has based on the role the account has been assigned. For each role predefined permissions determine the jobs and tasks that can be performed on a fabric and its associated fabric elements. Fabric OS uses RBAC to determine which command a user is allowed to access.
Hi Everyone.
In this video, let us learn how to create a user account on a Brocade switch using CLI. Firstly, we need to create a role and assign the role to a new user. Check the syntax of role config command. So this is the syntax to create a new role.
We're going to create a role with the name, Zone and Firmware. Specify the description as Zone and Firmware admin. And the classes. Zoning and firmware management with a comma operator. And assign the permissions, observe and modify. Now check the syntax of user config command.
We are going to create a test user. Now, add the role created in the first step. Zone and Firmware is the name of the role. 11 to 128. This specifies the virtual fabrics the user is authorized to access. Set a password for test user. Confirm the password.
Next, verify the created user with the command user config show and the name of the user we have created. You can view the RBA permissions available in the classes, Zoning and firmware management. Using the command class config show zoning. So you can use any of these commands on the test user. Similarly, class config show firmware management. So the test user can be used to perform any of these operations.
You can also use this for firmware download, firmware sync, to check the firmware, show to check the firmware running on the switch, etc. Now log in to the switch with the created test user. You can check the firmware on the switch.
You can also run the commands from the zoning class, for example, CFG Active show. Now let's create an alias, IT'S BA one. And add a PWWN to it. Check the created areas. You can also delete it. Verify the iShow.
Thank you for watching.
