Creating an Omega Password

To prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing the Omega
interface and altering a switch’s configuration settings, you can assign a
password to the program. Any person who starts the program will be
required to enter the password, regardless of how they access the
program (i.e., RS232 port, web browser, Telnet program, or SNMP
management program). The default value for the Omega interface is no
password.

Note
The Omega password is not related to the download password for
downloading software to a switch. For information on the
download password, refer to Chapter 8, Upgrading Switch
Software and Configuration Files
.

To specify a new password for the Omega interface, perform the
following procedure:

1. From the Omega Main Menu, choose System Configuration.

The System Configuration menu is displayed.

2. Select Omega Options.

The Omega Options window in Figure 57 is displayed.
