Logging In
Overview
The KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 switch can be accessed from a local console or an internet browser. Browser access is provided for convenience in performing administrative tasks from a remote location. Port switching and port operation procedures can only be performed from a console.
No matter which method you choose to access the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932, the switch’s authentication procedure requires you to submit a valid username and password. If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will return a Username and/or Password Error message. If you see this type of message, log in again with a correct username and password.
Note: If the number of invalid login attempts exceeds an amount specified by the switch’s Super Administrator, a timeout period is invoked. You must wait until the timeout period expires before you can attempt to log in again. See Maximum Login Failures, page 43 for details.
