Initializing the Router Software

Set Passwords

When your router is operating without passwords, anyone who has access to your router through either the directly connected console or Telnet can freely act as the router operator or manager. To discourage unauthorized access, it is recommended that you set two levels of passwords:

Manager password: Allows access to router management functions such as timesetting, changing the configuration, and rebooting.

User password: Allows monitoring only of statistics, the event log, MIB variables, and configuration values. It does not allow execution of router management functions such as rebooting.
