Logging On to the System
The Passport 8100 switches have four levels of security access for device 
management. Table 3-1
 describes the access levels and lists their default login 
names and passwords.
For example, if you want to log on with Read-Write-All access through the 
Console port, log on as rwa with password rwa
 at the login prompt.
