Cisco Role-Based Account Control Implementation

Cisco NX-OS

Cisco Nexus switces running the NX-OS software support up to 256 of locally defined user accounts. These accounts can have the following attributes:

  • Username
  • Password
  • Expiry Date
  • User Roles

User accounts are local to the VDC however those accounts with the network-admin or network-operator roles can login to default VDC and access the others using the switchto vdc command.
