+### 🔐 Setting Up API User and Access on A10 Thunder
+
+This section explains how to configure an API user and enable API (AXAPI) access on an A10 Thunder device using the CLI.
+
+#### ✅ Prerequisites
+
+- Admin credentials for the A10 Thunder device  
+- SSH access to the device  
+- Familiarity with A10 CLI commands
+
+---
+
+#### 🧑‍💻 Step 1: Create an API User
+
+1. SSH into the A10 Thunder device:
+
+   ```bash
+   ssh admin@<DEVICE_IP>
+   ```
+
+2. Enter configuration mode:
+
+   ```bash
+   configure terminal
+   ```
+
+3. Create a user account for API access:
+
+   ```bash
+   username <api_user> password <secure_password>
+   ```
+
+4. Assign admin privileges:
+
+   ```bash
+   username <api_user> privilege 15
+   ```
+
+5. (Optional) Assign a role if using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):
+
+   ```bash
+   username <api_user> role <role_name>
+   ```
+
+6. Save the configuration:
+
+   ```bash
+   write memory
+   ```
+
+---
+
+#### 🌐 Step 2: Enable and Verify API Access
+
+A10 Thunder supports AXAPI, a REST-based API. Follow these steps to confirm access:
+
+1. Ensure the management interface allows API traffic (if access-lists are used):
+
+   ```bash
+   ip access-list standard mgmt
+     permit <MGMT_SUBNET> <SUBNET_MASK>
+   exit
+
+   interface management
+     access-list mgmt
+   ```
+
+2. (Optional) Bind SSL cert for secure access:
+
+   ```bash
+   slb ssl-cert <CERT_NAME>
+     key <KEY_FILE>
+     certificate <CERT_FILE>
+   ```
+
+3. Authenticate using AXAPI v3 (example using `curl`):
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -k -X POST https://<DEVICE_IP>/axapi/v3/auth \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"credentials": {"username": "<api_user>", "password": "<password>"}}'
+   ```
+
+   A successful response will include an `authresponse` with an authorization token.
+
+---
+
+#### 🔁 Step 3: Use the API Token
+
+Use the returned token for authorized API calls:
+
+```bash
+curl -k -X GET https://<DEVICE_IP>/axapi/v3/system/resource-usage \
+  -H "Authorization: A10 <AUTH_TOKEN>"
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 📌 Notes
+
+- You can also create users via the GUI:  
+  **System → Admin → Users**
+
+- Roles (for RBAC) can be managed under:  
+  **System → Admin → Role**
+
+- Always use HTTPS and avoid hardcoding credentials in scripts
