Security Configuration
Use the Security Configuration screen to restrict management access based on
Administrator user name and password. Only the Administrator has write access
for parameters governing the SNMP agent. You should therefore assign a
password to the Administrator as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. (If
for some reason your password is lost, or you can not gain access to the system’s
configuration program, contact your Accton distributor for assistance.) The
parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
Change Password
Parameter Description
Old Password Current Administrator password for read/write access (Default password is null).
New Password Enter a new password for the Administrator.
Confirm Password Re-enter the new password for the Administrator.
Note: Passwords can consist of up to 15 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
Firmware Upgrade Options
Web Upload Management
Use the Web Upload Management menu to load software updates into the switch.
The upload file should be an ES4508 binary file from Accton; otherwise the agent
will not accept it. The success of the upload operation depends on the quality of
the network connection. After downloading the new software, the agent will
automatically restart itself. Parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the
following figure and table.
Parameter Description
Upload Mode You can upload to permanent flash ROM or temporary storage in
RAM (for test purposes). Note that if you download to temporary
memory, this firmware will be lost upon power off.
