Admin Guide

Chapter 13: System access
The following sections describe how to access the switch, create users, and user passwords.
System access fundamentals
This section contains conceptual information about how to access the switch and create users and
user passwords for access.
Logging on to the system
After the startup sequence is complete, the login prompt appears.
Note:
With enhanced secure mode enabled, the person in the role-based authentication level of
administrator configures the login and password values for the other role-based authentication
levels. The administrator initially logs on to the switch using the default login of admin and the
default password of admin. After the initial login, the switch prompts the administrator to create
a new password.
The administrator then configures default logins and passwords for the other users based on the
role-based authentication levels of the user. For more information on enhanced secure mode,
see System access security enhancements on page 196.
The following table shows the default values for login and password for the console and Telnet
sessions.
