Setting up a target system administrator

Bravura Security Fabric requires two administrative credentials on Cisco IOS to perform Bravura Security Fabric operations. This includes credentials to connect to the Cisco IOS router, as well as a system (enable) password for elevated privileges.

System passwords do not have an administrator ID, however when defining the credentials for the Cisco IOS target, an administrator ID is required. You can specify an arbitrary value for the administrator ID as this will not be validated. You must also ensure that this credential is identified as a System password .

If auto-enable is enabled on the Cisco IOS target, an administrator account that can login directly into privilege mode can be used for the administrative credentials instead, and a system password is not required.
