Accessing the Switch
The administrator can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of a Telnet
connection. If this happens, the user logged on by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the
session has been terminated.
If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command line prompt ends with a (#) sign.
For example:
BD-1.18 #
Prompt Text
You must have an administrator-level account to change the text of the prompt. The prompt text is
taken from the SNMP
sysname setting. The number that follows the colon indicates the sequential line
of the specific command or line.
If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command line prompt, it indicates that you have outstanding
configuration changes that have not been saved. For example:
* BD-1.19 #
Default Accounts
By default, the switch is configured with two accounts, as shown in Table 7.
Changing the Default Password
Default accounts do not have passwords assigned to them. Passwords can have a minimum of 1
character and can have a maximum of 30 characters.
NOTE
Passwords are case-sensitive; user names are not case-sensitive.
To add a password to the default admin account:
1 Log in to the switch using the name admin.
2 At the password prompt, press [Return].
3 Add a default admin password of green by entering the following command:
configure account admin green
