Viewing Accounts
To view the accounts that have been created, you must have administrator privileges. Use the following
command to see the accounts:
show accounts
Deleting an Account
To delete a account, you must have administrator privileges. To delete an account, use the following
command:
delete account <username>
NOTE
Do not delete the default administrator account. If you do, it is automatically restored, with no password,
the next time you download a configuration. To ensure security, change the password on the default
account, but do not delete it. The changed password will remain intact through configuration uploads
and downloads.
If you must delete the default account, first create another administrator-level account. Remember to
manually delete the default account again every time you download a configuration.
Domain Name Service Client Services
The Domain Name Service (DNS) client in ExtremeWare augments the following commands to allow
them to accept either IP addresses or host names:
• telnet
• download [bootrom | configuration | image]
• upload configuration
• ping
• traceroute
In addition, the nslookup utility can be used to return the IP address of a hostname.
You can specify up to eight DNS servers for use by the DNS client using the following command:
configure dns-client add <ipaddress>
You can specify a default domain for use when a host name is used without a domain. Use the
following command:
configure dns-client default-domain <domain_name>
For example, if you specify the domain “xyz-inc.com” as the default domain, then a command such as
ping accounting1 will be taken as if it had been entered ping accounting1.xyz-inc.com.
