Configuring the Switch for Local Authentication and Authorization

• For privilege level (optional), specify the privilege level the user has after gaining access. The range is 0 to 15. Level 15 gives privileged EXEC mode access. Level 0 gives user EXEC mode access.
• For encryption-type, enter 0 to specify that an unencrypted password follows. Enter 7 to specify that a hidden password follows.

configure terminal
service password-encryption
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authorization network default local
username [name] privilege [privilege level] password [encryption-type] [password]  
end
