Chapter 12: Manager Account Commands
188
Overview
The AT-S97 Management Software comes with one predefined manager
account with a privilege level of administrator. This account, with its login
name of “manager” and default password of “friend”, provides a network
manager with complete access to all the parameters on the modules in a
chassis or stack.
The management module can support additional manager accounts, a
useful feature when more than one administrator will be managing a
device. Rather than having to share a login account, each administrator
can have a separate account. These accounts can have a privilege level
of read, which allows a manager to view but not change the settings, or
read-write, which is nearly equivalent to the administrator privilege level in
the predefined account. The differences between the predefined manager
account and a privilege level of read-write are that only the former can
add, delete, and modify additional manager accounts, clear the messages
in the event log, and return the chassis to the default settings.
New accounts are created with the USER ADD command, deleted and
modified with the USER DELETE and USER SET commands, and
displayed with the USER SHOW command.
Manager Account
Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when adding manager accounts to the
AT-MCF2000M Management Module:
ˆ The AT-MCF2000M Management Module supports up to ten read
accounts and ten read-write accounts in addition to the predefined
manager account.
ˆ Only the predefined manager account can have the privilege level of
administrator.
ˆ Only the predefined manager account with its privilege level of
administrator can add, delete, and modify user accounts, clear the
messages in the event log, and return the chassis to the default
settings.
ˆ The manager accounts are self-contained on the management module
and do not use the RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication protocol.
