Override Admin
Override Admin is the one account that can be used to get into the console switch from a network, even if
the local accounts are locked or do not exist or if LDAP is not working properly. The Override Admin
account is a permanent account that cannot be deleted. It has the same access right privileges as a
Console Switch Administrator. The ID and password should be closely held by authorities and should not
be used as Admin or User accounts on a day-to-day basis. The Override Admin account name and
password settings are accessible only to the Override Admin user. The Override Admin account
authenticates only locally to the console switch and the directory.
NOTE: For 1 x 1 x16 and 3 x 1 x16 IP console switches when upgrading from a firmware version before
3.0.0, the upgrade procedure searches for an existing Console Switch Admin account named "Admin" and
migrates this user name and password to be the default Override Admin account. If the user "Admin" is not
found, then the default Override Admin user name will be "Admin" and the default password will not be set
(empty).
