Changing the Default Passwords 73
The default write community string is private. To change this setting,
in System View, enter display snmp community.
To manage your switch using an SNMP network management
application, you need to specify the same SNMP community strings for
the users defined on the switch and the management application.
You can do this using the command line interface system
management snmp community command. Refer to the command
line interface section of the “Switch 5500 Family Command Reference
Guide” for more information.
SNMP V3 is on as default. All commands are in the SNMP menu in System
View.
Changing the Default Passwords
If you intend to manage the switch using the Web interface or the
command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to
log in with a valid user name and password. The switch has three default
user names, and each user name has a different password and access
level. These default users are listed in Tab le 22.
CAUTION: To protect your switch from unauthorized access, you should
change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your switch.
Tabl e 22 Default Users
Use the admin default user name (no password) to login and perform
the initial switch setup.
To set a password for the admin user in the CLI, enter the following from
System View:
User

special/security features, but cannot change any
manageable parameters
manager manager This user can access and change the operational
parameters, but not special/security features
