3-2 SUMMIT SWITCH INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE
A CCESSING T HE S WITCH
A user-level account can use the ping command to test device reachability, and change
the password assigned to the account name. If you have logged on with user
capabilities, the command-line prompt will end with a (>) sign. For example:
Summit1:2>
An administrator-level account can view and change all Switch parameters. It can also
add and delete users, and change the password associated with any account name. The
administrator can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of
a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user logged on by way of the Telnet connection
is notiÞed that the session has been terminated.
If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command-line prompt will
end with a (#) sign. For example:
Summit1:18#
The prompt text is taken from the SNMP sysname setting. The number that follows the
colon indicates the sequential line/command number.
If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command-line prompt, it indicates that you
have outstanding conÞguration changes that have not been saved. For example:
*Summit1:19#
For more information on saving configuration changes, refer to Chapter 11.
DEFAULT ACCOUNTS
By default, the Switch is conÞgured with two accounts, as shown in Table 3-1.
