Security consistency checklist
The Security Consistency Checklist dialog box ( Figure 23 ) enables you to view current security-related
settings, such as, firmware versions, embedded GUI, in-band management, date/time on switches. Any
changes must be made through the appropriate dialog, such as Network Properties dialog, Switch
Properties dialog, or SNMP Properties dialog. To open the Security Consistency Checklist dialog, open the
Stack menu and select Security Consistency Checklist.

Managing user accounts
Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account Administration dialog boxes.
However, any user can modify their own password. To open a User Account Administration dialog box,
open the Switch menu and select User Accounts.
A user account consists of the following data:
• Account name or login
• Password
• Authority level
• Expiration date
Switches come from the factory with the following user accounts:
• admin—Admin authority, never expires, password is password
• images—No Admin authority, never expires, password is images,
The Admin account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the User Account
Administration dialog boxes. The Admin account can create, remove, or modify user accounts, and
change account passwords. The Admin account can also view and modify the switch and its configuration
with QuickTools. The Admin account can not be removed.
Users with Admin authority can use QuickTools to view and modify the switch and its configuration. Users
without Admin authority are limited to viewing only the switch status and configuration.
The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using FTP. The Images account can not be
removed.
NOTE: If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user can log in with either
password, but the authority and account expiration will always come from the switch database.
