If Radius Only is selected from the list, your HAFM appliance checks the Radius information to see
whether or not any Radius server has been specified. If not, the application prevents the user from
selecting this option and a message is displayed.
If the Radius server is already set, the security administrator is alerted that the user information on
the Radius server needs to be entered manually, because that information cannot be populated
automatically by the HAFM appliance.
Assigning users to a switch
For the user role, there are two options available from a list, Administrator and Operator. The ID of
the user is
Administrator
and the password is
password
. The third and fourth column indicate
whether a user has access to the switch through the HAFM Basic or Telnet interface, or through both
of them.
A default user is set up in the switch user base. The ID of the user is
Administrator
and the
password is
password
. There is one default user that is displayed in the table, with both Telnet and
HAFM Basic (EWS) check boxes selected.

User ID must be unique. If you add an ID that exists in the system, it will be rejected. The
maximum length of password is 24 characters.
3.
Click OK.
4.
Assign a role to a user to be either Administrator or Operator.
By default, all new users are set up with an Administrator’s privilege. This can be changed by
clicking the list under the Role column and selecting another option.
The security administrator can delete users from the switch user database. There must be at least one
user with Administrator privilege for Telnet and HAFM Basic. A message is displayed if you try to
delete the last user with Administrator privileges.
If a user is removed from the table, the user cannot access the switch through the Telnet or HAFM
Basic interface. The removed user who is currently accessing a live session with the switch can
continue working on the switch until logging out.
