Console Login Configuration

6.5CONSOLE LOGIN CONFIGURATION

Use the Console Login Configuration screen (Figure 6-10) to restrict management access based on the specified user names and passwords, or to set the invalid password threshold and time-out. There are two user types: Administrator and Guest. Only the Administrator has write access for parameters governing the SNMP agent. You should therefore assign a user name and password to the Administrator as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. (If for some reason your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the System Configuration Program, contact Enterasys Networks for assistance.) The parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
