User Authentication, Configuring User Accounts

User Authentication

Overview

You can restrict management access to this switch and provide secure network access using the following options:

User Accounts – Manually configure access rights on the switch for specified users.

Authentication Settings – Use remote authentication to configure access rights.

HTTPS Settings – Provide a secure web connection.

SSH Settings – Provide a secure shell (for secure Telnet access).

Port Security – Configure secure addresses for individual ports.

802.1x – Use IEEE 802.1x port authentication to control access to specific ports.

Configuring User Accounts

The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters. However, the administrator has write access for all parameters governing the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.

The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.”

The default administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”
