you can use the following management methods:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• SSH
• Telnet
[no] username user passwd
password
Global Config This command adds a new user (account) if space permits, along with
the user’s password. The user name and password can each be up to
eight alphanumeric characters in length.
To remove a user, use the
no username user command.
To delete or change a password, remove and reenter the user with the
new password.
Passwords can include special characters. As of SFTOS 2.5.1.3, the
following characters are supported: , . { } |. (period, comma, open
bracket, close bracket, bar)
copy
system:running-config
nvram:startup-config
Privileged Exec This will save passwords and all other changes to the device.
If you do not save the configuration by doing this command, all
configurations will be lost when a power cycle is performed on the
switch or when the switch is reset.
In a stacking environment, the running configuration is saved in all units
of the stack.
logout
User Exec and

Note: Helpful Hint: After configuring the network parameters, enter write (same effect as
executing the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command), in
Privileged Exec mode, so that the management configuration changes are not lost.
