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.

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.

To configure password security:

1. Set a Manager password pair (and an Operator password pair, if applicable for your system).

2. Exit from the current console session. A Manager password pair will now be needed for full access to the console.
