Enhancements in Release F.02.02

Username Assignment and Prompt

Username Assignment and Prompt

Prior to release F.02.02, assigning a manager or operator username to the switch required you to use the Web browser interface. Also, only the Web browser interface required you to enter a username at logon if one was configured for the privilege level you were accessing. Beginning with release F.02.02 you can use the CLI password command to assign a manager- and/or operator-level username, and the CLI and Web browser interface will require you to enter a username at logon if one is configured.

Note

On the series 2500 switches, a username is optional.

Syntax: password < manager operator > [user-name < user-name-str>]

For example, to use the CLI to configure a manager user name of sysman1 and a manager password

of top1mgr:

HP2512(config# password manager user-name sysman1

New password: *******

Please retype new password: *******

To use the CLI to remove all user name and password protection from the switch:

HP2512(config)# no password
