Setting Password Protection

The VH-2402S switch is factory-configured with administrator access rights to the console menus set to READ/WRITE. This setting allows anyone to use the console menus to modify any operational parameter. To protect the configuration of the switch from unauthorized modification, you should enable password protection to the console menus.

To enter a password, do the following:

1.Select Management Setup Menu from the Main Menu and press [Enter].

2.Select Console Login Configuration and press [Enter].

3.For the “ADMIN” user type, enter a password containing up to 11 alphanumeric characters. Note that the password is not case sensitive.

By factory default, there is no password configured. This means that at the login: prompt, all you have to do is type “admin” for the username and press [Enter] to gain READ/ WRITE access to the console menus. When you configure the password parameter, the factory default setting is deactivated and the new password governs access to the console menus.

If you forget your password, contact your Enterasys Networks Support Representative.

You are automatically logged out from the console menus based on the Lock-out Time setting in the Console Login Configuration Menu. A setting of “0” permits the console menus to remain available indefinitely.
