Network Management

Hello team!!

I have 3 switches Aruba 2930F in an stack.

So far, all 3 switches are working fine, and we have access.  The stack is in production and we should not lost access.

We have only the manager and operator passwords, but now we need to create another user with full access to everything.

Just in case, if something wrong happens, I will need to reset the password for the stack.

In the "Management and configuration guide", I see that I can reset the password by pressing the clear button, for 1-5 seconds, but I dont know what happen when the switch is in an stack. 

The manager and operator passwords of the stack will be reset if I press the clear button in any switch in the stack?

I need to press clear button in all 3 switches or just the primary?

The clear button is in case that something wrong happen,(Plan B).  This is what I plan to execute first to add another admin user (Plan A)

I connect to the stack IP using telnet and then execute this:

-configure

-aaa authorization group "Admins" 100 match-command "configure" permit

-aaa authorization group "Admins" 200 match-command "enable" permit

-aaa authorization group "Admins" 300 match-command "any" permit

-aaa authentication local-user AdminIT group Admins password plaintext -> The password should be asked

-exit

-write memory

Do you think this will work?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Damián

Hi Damian

Just to see if I understand what you mean. You want to create another admin user as some sort of back-up login in case you need to change the existing password?

That being said, since you said this is in production, I would also agree with Herman that it will be best to use an external AAA server to manage device login.
