This article is about the error messages that appear during the commit operation when local login username is created as root and commit operation is performed.

Creating a local login username as root and committing the configuration on Switches.

Add new username as "root"
[edit system login]

root@switch# set user root
 

#commit check

error: cannot create user account: root

error: user name is used by a system account

error: configuration check-out failed: daemon file propagation failed

This is an expected behavior that in an EX Series Switches we cannot create login username as root. And root is used by system account.

We can root as system account and login as root, which is set during the initial configuration.

To remove the commit errors we need to delete the login username root.

[edit system login]

root@switch# delete user root
