Configuring Management Access

•Administrator

An administrator-level account can view and change all switch parameters. It can also add and delete users, and change the password associated with any account name. The administrator can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user logged on by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.

If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command-line prompt ends with a (#) sign. For example:

SummitPx1:18#

Changing the Default Passwords

The switch is automatically configured with one account at each level, with the names user and admin. By default, these accounts do not have passwords assigned to them. To add a password to the default admin account, follow these steps:

1Log in to the switch using the name admin.

2At the password prompt, press [Return].

3Add a default password by entering the following: config account admin

—or—

config account user

4Enter the new password at the prompt. Passwords can have up to 32 characters, and are case-sensitive.

5Re-enter the new password at the prompt.

If you forget your password while logged out of the command-line interface, contact your local technical support representative, who will advise on your next course of action.
