Console access includes both the menu interface and the CLI. There are two levels of console access: Manager and Operator. For security, you can set a password pair (username and password) on each of these levels.

N o t e

Usernames are optional. Also, in the menu interface, you can configure

 

passwords, but not usernames. To configure usernames, use the CLI or the

 

web browser interface.

 

 

Level

Actions Permitted

 

 

Manager:

Access to all console interface areas.

 

This is the default level. That is, if a Manager password has not been set prior

 

to starting the current console session, then anyone having access to the

 

console can access any area of the console interface.

Operator:

Access to the Status and Counters menu, the Event Log, and the CLI*, but no

 

Configuration capabilities.

 

On the Operator level, the configuration menus, Download OS, and Reboot

 

Switch options in the Main Menu are not available.

*Allows use of the ping, link-test, show, menu, exit, and logout commands, plus the enable command if you can provide the Manager password.
