Authentication bypass for the username when logging on to the switch.

The disable-username command will display an acceptance option and security warning message similar to the following:

into the device to get Manager or Operator access? (y/n)

Entering “y/Y” will complete setting the command.

The default configuration of the switch is to authenticate based on username and password. This command is disabled by default in the switch configuration. An event log message (warning) will be logged that relates to this command. The event log message with be similar to the following:

W 05/22/13 21:02:06 00419 auth: Bypassing the username 
for Operator and Manager access level is enabled
