Hi all I have a network that is based on HP A serires switches. I have installed 4 new ones A3600v2 and I have a problem with SSH access privilage level. On A3600v1 and A5500 models i used to use this configuration:
The above config gived me full access to the switch CLI. On the v2 series it doesn't. I have to use super command to get full CLI access. Can someone tell how to get it work on v2 switches ?
In order to use "super" you need to have a super password set, similar to:
super password level 3 cipher <REMOVED>
Note however if you dont have a super password set and you dont have a user with level 3 permissions you wont be able to alter the configuration afterwards.
You can verify which permission a local user might have by looking at the configuration, this is a level 1 user named "admin":
local-user admin
password cipher <REMOVED>
authorization-attribute level 1
service-type ssh terminal
Changing the above into level 3 should mean that you wont have to issue the super password.
In your case I think it defaults to the local user database since you have setup:
authentication-mode scheme
instead of:
authentication-mode password
That is something like this should give you super privileges without the need of issue a manual "super" (and without looking in the internal user database):
user-interface aux 0 authentication-mode password user privilege level 3 set authentication password cipher <REMOVED>
