Step 2: Run the command system journal show | tail -n 20 on DUT0 and expect the following output:

Show output

Jul 24 13:31:04.265822 osdx OSDxCLI[833017]: User 'admin' left the configuration menu.

Step 3: Run the command system login show users on DUT0 and expect the following output:

Show output

Step 6: Login as admin user on DUT0:

admin@osdx

Step 7: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :
