Dell PowerVault 51F 8-Port Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
Default Username
Each Username has a security level associated with it. Username 3 is the least privi-
leged and the security level goes up to Username 0, which is the most privileged, as
described in Table 3-2.
The system administrator may assign different usernames than those listed, if
desired. The user at a particular security level, however, has the same privileges
regardless of the name assigned.
Changing Passwords
The initial default password for all usernames is
password.
Change the default pass-
words during installation to meet the fabric’s security requirements.
To change user passwords, perform the following steps:
1.
Log in as
admin
.
2.
Type the command
passwd
.
3.
Each username (admin, user, other) is displayed in sequence, allowing the admin-
istrator to modify each password and name.
4.
Enter a password or name while a username is displayed to replace the existing
password or name.
NOTE: If you lose the password, contact Dell for technical assistance.
Managing With SNMP Under Dell
OpenManage
NOTICE: SNMP settings on the switch pose a security risk. When setting up
the SNMP settings for the PowerVault 51F system, the user must set up the
community name and trap recipients IP address. The first three community
names have read/write (rw) permissions, whereas the last three have
read-only (ro). This means that the default Secret Code, OrigEquipMfr, and
private communities could pose a security breach. Anyone knowing the
default community names of the switch could perform SNMP sets on the
switch and change its configuration values.
