More Information On User Accounts. A user account includes a login name, password, and user privileges. Privileges determine whether the user has read or write access to the switch and which commands the user is authorized to execute.

For detailed information on setting up and modifying user accounts and user privileges, refer to the Switch Manage- ment Guide.

Setting IP Address Information for the EMP

The Ethernet Management Port (EMP) is located on the CMM module. The EMP allows you to bypass the Network Interface (NI) modules and manage the switch over the network directly through the CMM.

In order to ping the switch through the EMP Ethernet connec- tion, you must change the port’s default IP and gateway addresses.

To change the default IP and gateway addresses, refer to the following steps.

Note. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before attempting to change IP address information. Otherwise, an error message will display.

1Enter modify boot parameters at the CLI prompt. The boot prompt displays:

Boot >

2At the boot prompt, enter boot empipaddr, followed by the new default IP address for the EMP. For example:

Boot > boot empipaddr 168.22.2.120

3Next, enter boot empgatewayipaddr, followed by the new default gateway address for the EMP. For example:

Boot > boot empgatewayipaddr 168.22.2.254

4Verify your current changes by entering show at the boot prompt:

Boot > show
