Brocade: How to login to the switch with "root" account via CLI

By default, the "root" user on the switch is disabled and can only be accessed through the terminal console. To log in via SSH you will need:

1. Enable user account:
userconfig --change root -e yes

2. Check the status of the "root" user:
userconfig --show root

3. Check the access level with the command:
rootaccess --show

4. If the received value is "consoleonly" or "none", run:
rootaccess --set all

5. Connect to the switch via SSH using the "root" user (usually the default password is "fibranne"). The first time you log in, you will be asked to change your password.

After updating to FOS 9.1.0 access to user "root" will be removed!
