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.
