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 the user level. (Options: 0 - Normal, 15 - Privileged)
Normal privilege level provides access to a limited number of the commands
which display the current status of the switch, as well as several database clear
and reset functions. Privileged level provides full access to all commands.
◆ Password Type – Plain Text or Encrypted password.
