Enterasys Networks VH-8G manual Console Login Configuration

Console Login Configuration

Use the Management Setup: Console Login Configuration to restrict management access based on specified user names and passwords, or to set the invalid password threshold and timeout. There are only two user types defined, ADMIN (Administrator) and GUEST, but you can set up to five different user names and passwords. Only Administrators have write access for parameters governing the switch. You should therefore assign a user name and password to the default 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 Technical Support for assistance.) The parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
