Managing Switch User Accounts

 

 

 

 

Quick Steps for Creating Customer Login User Accounts

1Set up a user profile through the end-user profile command. For example, configure a profile called Profile1 that specifies read-write access to the physical and basic-ip-routingcommand areas:

-> end-user profile Profile1 read-write physical basic-ip-routing

2Specify ports to which the profile will allow access. In this example, Profile1 will be configured with access to ports on slot 1 and slot 2.

-> end-user profile Profile1 port-list 1/1-2 1/4-5 2/1-8

3Specify VLANs or VLAN ranges to which the profile will allow access. In this example, Profile1 will be configured with access to VLANs 3 through 8.

-> end-user profile Profile1 vlan-range 3-8

Note. Optional. To verify the end-user profile, enter the show end-user profile command. The display is similar to the following:

End user profile : Profile1

 

Area accessible with read

and write rights :

physical,

 

basic ip routing,

 

Slot : 1, ports allowed :

1-2, 4-5

Slot : 2, ports allowed :

1-8

Vlan Id :

 

3-8

 

For more information about the show end-user profile command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

4Associate the profile with a user account. Enter the user command with the relevant username and password and specify Profile1. In this example, the user name is Customer1 and the password is my_passwd:

-> user Customer1 password my_passwd end-user profile Profile1

For more information about creating a user and setting up a password, see “Creating a User” on page 7-8. For information about creating end-user profiles, see “Setting Up End-User Profiles” on page 7-14.

Note. Optional. To verify the user account, enter the show user command. The display is similar to the following:

User name = Customer1

 

END user profile

= Profile1

SNMP authentication

= NONE, Snmp encryption = NONE

User name = default

 

END user profile

Profile5

Snmp not allowed

 

For more information about the show user command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions offers the OmniSwitch series, renowned for its robust capabilities in delivering high-performance networking solutions tailored for a variety of enterprise and service provider environments. The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. These features collectively enhance the security posture of the network, protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network resources.

The OmniSwitch is also designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. Features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure that network uptime is maximized and that failover is swift in the event of a hardware failure. This makes it a viable option for organizations that cannot afford downtime.

In addition to these features, Alcatel's OmniSwitch series comes equipped with a user-friendly management interface. This interface simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of the network, making it accessible even to those with limited networking expertise. Through intuitive dashboards and support for SNMP, administrators can manage their networks effectively.

In conclusion, Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions' OmniSwitch series offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the needs of modern networks. With its blend of performance, scalability, security, and ease of management, the OmniSwitch stands out as a preferred choice for businesses seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure.
