Configure User Accounts
By default, two user accounts exist:
• admin, with read/write privileges
• guest, with read-only privileges
The account names are not case-sensitive.
The first time that you log in as an admin user to the local browser UI, no password is
required (that is, the password is blank).
As of software version 12.0.9.3, after you log in for
the first time, you are required to specify a local device password that you must use each
subsequent time that you log in.
A guest user cannot log in until the admin user specifies a password for the guest user.
If you log in as an admin user with read/write privileges, you can assign passwords and set
security parameters for the default accounts and add and delete accounts (other than the
admin account), up to a maximum of six accounts.
As an admin user with read/write
privileges you modify data on the local browser UI pages.
To add a user account:
1. Launch a web browser
.
2. In the address field of your web browser
, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens.
3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password,
and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a
local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
4. Select Security> Management Security > Local User > User Management.
