Specify the user name and password of such a user against USERNAME and SSH PASSWORD text boxes, and confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• By default, the IS PRIVILEDGE MODE ENABLED parameter is set to Yes indicating that this test can execute commands at various privilege levels on the Cisco Router. To enable the test to access the privilege levels, provide the password in the ENABLE PASSWORD text box.
