Console access includes both the menu interface and the CLI. There are two
levels of console access: Manager and Operator. For security, you can set a
password pair
(username and password) on each of these levels.
N o t e
Usernames are optional. Also, in the menu interface, you can configure
passwords, but not usernames. To configure usernames, use the CLI or the
web browser interface.
Level Actions
Permitted
Manager:
Access to all console interface areas.
This is the default level. That is, if a Manager password has not been set prior
to starting the current console session, then anyone having access to the
console can access any area of the console interface.
Operator:
Access to the Status and Counters menu, the Event Log, and the CLI*, but no
Configuration capabilities.
On the Operator level, the configuration menus, Download OS, and Reboot
Switch options in the Main Menu are not available.
*Allows use of the ping, link-test, show, menu, exit, and logout commands, plus the enable
command if you can provide the Manager password.
To configure password security:
1.
Set a Manager password pair (and an Operator password pair, if applicable
for your system).
2.
Exit from the current console session. A Manager password pair will now
be needed for full access to the console.
