Creating and maintaining user-defined accounts
In addition to the default administrative and user accounts, Fabric OS supports up to 15 user-defined
accounts in each logical switch (domain). These accounts expand your ability to track account access and
audit administrative activities.
User-defined accounts can be specified as either admin or user level. Admin-level accounts allow up to
two simultaneous login sessions. User-level accounts allow up to four simultaneous login sessions. The total
number of simultaneous login sessions allowed per logical switch is 15.
You can change passwords on user-defined accounts as described in ” Changing an account password ”
on page 45.
If the Track Changes feature is enabled, the system keeps track of account names and login attempts. (See
” Tracking and controlling switch changes ” on page 35 for details on enabling the Track Changes feature.)
For large enterprises, Fabric OS also supports RADIUS services, as described in ” Setting up RADIUS AAA
service ” on page 46.
The following procedures are for operations you can perform on user-defined accounts.
The default administrative account is called
admin
.
NOTE: If you are operating in secure mode, you can perform these operations only on the primary FCS
switch.
