Introduction

The following information provides an example of configuring administrator accounts.

Prerequisites

This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the device.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of administrators and remote management.

Software version used

This configuration example was created and verified on Release 6728P19 of the MSR830-10HI router.
