Console access includes both the menu interface and the CLI. There are two

levels of console access: Manager and Operator. For security, you can set a

password pair (username and password) on each of these levels.

Note Usernames are optional. Also, in the menu interface, you can configure

passwords, but not usernames. To configure usernames, use the CLI or the

web browser interface.
