About Passwords
There are four accounts for each switch instance. For a Core Switch 2/64, there
are four accounts for switch instance 0, and four accounts for switch instance 1.
The account names are the same for the both switch instances. For the SAN
Switch 2/32, there are four accounts. Refer to
Table 6 and Table 7 .
All account names remain the same as Fabric OS v4.0: root, factory, admin and
user.
At each account level, you can change passwords for that account and all accounts
that have lesser privileges.
Note: There is one exception to the password structure; an admin level user can
change the root password by entering
passwd “root”
. They must also know the old
root password.
Password Levels
There are four levels of account access:
■ root - not recommended
■ factory - not recommended
■ admin- recommended for administrative operations
■ user - recommended for non-administrative operations
Therefore, if you are logged in as admin, you can change the passwords for both
admin and user (see noted exception).
The Core Switch 2/64 switch has two logical switches, each logical switch has its
own set of four passwords.
