Managing Local User Accounts
The switch comes with one local manager account. The account, which
has the username “manager” and default password “friend,” is referred to
as a local account because it is the switch that authenticates the
username and password when a manager logs on using the account.
This section explains how to create additional local user accounts, how to
change passwords and privileges, and how to delete a manager account.
See the following:
 “Adding a New User Account” on page 52
 “Changing a User Password” on page 53
 “Changing the User Privilege” on page 54
 “Deleting a User Account” on page 55
The switch also supports remote manager accounts that are not
authenticated by the switch, but by a RADIUS or TACACS+ server on your
network. For information, see Chapter 17, “RADIUS and TACACS+
Clients” on page 187.
