Chapter 8. Device Management

Login String

The Login String entry field lets the super administrator specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must add to the IP address when they access the KN1108v / KN1116v switch with a browser.

For example, if 192.168.0.126 were the IP address, and abcdefg were the login string, then the user would have to key in:

192.168.0.126/abcdefg

Note: 1. Users must place a forward slash between the IP address and the string.

2.If no login string is specified here, anyone will be able to access the KN1108v / KN1116v switch login page using the IP address alone. This makes your installation less secure.

The following characters are allowed in the string: 0–9 a–z A–Z ~ ! @ $ & * ( ) _ - = + [ ] , .

The following characters are not allowed:

%^ ” : / ? # \ ‘ { } ; ’ < > [Space] Compound characters (É Ç ñ ... etc.)

For security purposes, we recommend that you change this string occasionally.
