Logging On to the System

The Passport 8100 switches have four levels of security access for device management. Table 3-1 describes the access levels and lists their default login names and passwords.

Table 3-1.	Access Levels and Default Login Values
Access Level	Description	Default	Default
		Login	Password
Read-Only	Allows only viewing of configuration and status	ro	ro
	information. Is equivalent to SNMP read-only
	community access.
Layer 2	Allows viewing and changing configuration	l2	l2
(read-write)	and status information for layer 2 (bridging/
	switching) functions.
Read-Write	Allows viewing and changing configuration	rw	rw
	and status information across the switch; does
	not allow changing security and password
	settings. Is equivalent to SNMP read-write
	community access.
Read-Write-All	Allows all the rights of Read-Write access	rwa	rwa
	and the ability to change security settings,

including the CLI and Web-based management user names and passwords and the SNMP community strings.

For example, if you want to log on with Read-Write-All access through the Console port, log on as rwa with password rwa at the login prompt.
