◆ The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The
default administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”
◆ The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters.
However, the administrator has write access for all parameters
governing the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new
administrator password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
P ARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ User Name – The name of the user.
(Maximum length: 32 characters; maximum number of users: 16)
◆ Access Level – Specifies the user level. (Options: 0 - Normal,
15 - Privileged)
Normal privilege level provides access to a limited number of the
commands which display the current status of the switch, as well as
several database clear and reset functions. Privileged level provides full
access to all commands.
◆ Password – Specifies the user password.
(Range: 0-32 characters plain text, case sensitive)
◆ Confirm Password – Re-type the string entered in the previous field
to ensure no errors were made. The switch will not change the
password if these two fields do not match.
