Chapter 7 Establishing Switch Access
Security Levels
There are four security access levels – User, Privileged, Configure, and Supervisor.
•The User level
•The Privileged level
•The Configure level is used by site personnel for Layer 3 configuration.
•The Supervisor level (‘administrator’) is used to define user names, passwords, and access levels of up to 10 local CLI users, configure SNMPv3, configure RADIUS authentication, and control access protocols to the device.
If you wish to define more than ten users per switch, or accounts for a user on multiple switches, use RADIUS (Remote Authentication
A login name and password are always required to access the CLI and the commands. The login name, password, and
Switching between the entities, does not effect the security level since security levels are established specifically for each user. For example, if the operator with a privileged security level in the Switch entity switches to the Router entity the privileged security level is retained.
If you wish to increase security, you can change the default user accounts and SNMP communities.
The Web management passwords are the same as those of the CLI. If you change the passwords of the CLI then those passwords become active for Web management as well.
Entering the Supervisor Level
The Supervisor level is the level in which you first enter P330 CLI and establish user names for up to 10 local users. When you enter the Supervisor level, you are asked for a Login name. Type root as the Login name and the default password root (in lowercase letters):
Welcome to P330
Login: root
Password:****
Password accepted.
