Configuring User Accounts
Use the Security > User Accounts page to control management access to the switch
based on manually configured user names and passwords.
Command Usage
◆ The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The default
administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”
◆ The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters. However,
the administrator has write access for all parameters governing the onboard
agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator password as soon as
possible, and store it in a safe place.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ User Name – The name of the user.
(Maximum length: 32 characters; maximum number of users: 16)
◆ Access Level – Specifies command access privileges. (Range: 0-15)
Level 0, 8 and 15 are designed for users (guest), managers (network
maintenance), and administrators (top-level access). The other levels can be
used to configured specialized access profiles.
Level 0-7 provide the same default access to a limited number of commands
which display the current status of the switch, as well as several database clear
and reset functions. These commands are equivalent to those available under
Normal Exec command mode in the CLI.
