Admin Guide

• Auditor
• Security
Each username is associated with a certain role in the product and appropriate authorization rights
for viewing and executing commands are available for that role.
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 following displays an example of the initial login to the switch by the administrator after
enhanced secure mode is enabled.

This is an initial attempt using the default user name and password.
Please change the user name and password to continue.

The administrator then configures default logins and passwords for the other users based on the
role-based authentication levels of the user.
