Table 2 User access levels
User account | Description and tasks performed | |
|
|
|
User | The user has no direct responsibility for switch management. He or she can view all | |
| switch status information and statistics, but cannot make any configuration changes to the | |
| switch. The user account is enabled by default, and the default password is user. | |
|
|
|
Oper | The operator manages all functions of the switch. The operator can reset ports or the | |
| entire switch. By default, the operator account is disabled and has no password. | |
|
|
|
Admin | The super user administrator has complete access to all menus, information, and | |
| configuration commands on the switch, including the ability to change both the user and | |
| administrator passwords. The admin account is enabled by default, and the default | |
| password is admin. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: With the exception of the admin user, setting the password to an empty value can disable access to each user level.
Once you enter the administrator password and it is verified, you are given complete access to the switch.
After logging in, the Main Menu of the CLI is displayed. See the “Menu basics” chapter for a summary of the Main Menu options.

Idle timeout
By default, the switch will disconnect the console, Telnet, or SSH session after five minutes of inactivity. This function is controlled by the idle timeout parameter, which can be set from 1 to 60 minutes. For information on changing this parameter, see the “System configuration” section in the “Configuration Menu” chapter.
