HPE6-A41 Exam - Question 32


An ArubaOS switch operates at factory default settings. A network administrator enters this command:

Switch (config)# password operator plaintext mysecret

How does the switch now control access to the CLI through the console port?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

When the password is set for the 'operator' username in an ArubaOS switch at factory default settings, it requires users to authenticate by entering the username 'operator' and the corresponding password 'mysecret' to gain access to basic mode. Once in basic mode, users can enter 'enable' mode without needing to authenticate again because the command does not set an additional password for enable mode.

Correct answer is B. When entering CLI you will be prompted to enter an username, which is "operator" in this case. You will then have to enter the password: mysecret. After doing so you can enter configuration mode by writing enable because you have yet to configure a manager.
