User Name
Use a user name to manage the device remotely, for example through SSH, Telnet, or the browser-
based interface. To gain complete administrative (super-user) control over the PC Blade Switch, specify
the highest privilege (15).
NOTE: Only the administrator (super-user) with the highest privilege level (15) is allowed to manage
the PC Blade Switch through the browser-based interface.
For more information about the privilege level, see the CLI Reference Guide.
The configured user name is entered as a login name for remote management sessions. To configure
user name and privilege level, type the command at the system prompt as shown in the configuration
example:
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)# username admin password lee level 15
SNMP Community Strings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices.
Devices supporting SNMP run local software (agent). The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables used
to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB
presents the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification format,
as well as the format used to access the information over the network. Access rights to the SNMP agents
are controlled by access strings and SNMP community strings.
The PC Blade Switch is SNMP-compliant and contains an SNMP agent that supports a set of standard
and private MIB variables. Developers of management stations require the exact structure of the MIB
tree and need to receive the complete private MIBs before being able to manage the MIBs. All
parameters are manageable from any SNMP management platform, except the SNMP management
