System Password
The switch supports up to 16 user names and passwords for management access (console and web interfaces). Each user account has an associated access level; either Normal or Privileged. A Normal level user has only read access for most configuration parameters. However, a Privileged user has write access for all parameters governing the switch. The default Normal user name is “guest” with the password "guest." The default Privileged user name is “admin” with no password. You should therefore assign a new password for the "admin" user account or create new Privileged user accounts, and store them in a safe place. Both the default "admin" and "guest" user accounts can be deleted from the system.
To configure a new user account, enter the user name, access level, and password - up to eight characters long - and click Add. To change the password for a specific user, enter the user name and new password, confirm the
password by entering it again. Up to 16 user accounts can be configured on this switch. | Figure |
