Configuring the Manager and Operator Passwords
There are two levels of management access on an AT-8500 Series switch:
manager and operator. When you log in as manager, you can view and
configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an
operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot change
any values.
You log in as a manager or an operator by entering the appropriate
username and password when you start an AT-S62 management session.
The default password for manager access is “friend”. The default
password for operator access is “operator”. Passwords are case-sensitive.
This section contains these two procedures:
ˆ “Changing the Manager or Operator Password” on page 58
ˆ “Resetting the Manager Password” on page 59
The first procedure allows you to change a manager or operator
password. The second allows you to bypass the manager password in the
event you lose or forget it.
