Select an access level for the user.

 

Users of different levels can perform different operations. User levels, in order from low

 

to high, are visitor, monitor, configure, and management.

 

∙ Visitor: Users of this level can only perform ping and traceroute operations. They can

 

neither access data on the switch nor configure the switch.

Access Level

∙ Monitor: Users of this level can perform ping and traceroute operations and access

 

data on the switch but cannot configure the switch.

 

∙ Configure: Users of this level can perform ping and traceroute operations, access

 

data on the switch, and configure the switch, but they cannot upgrade the host

 

software, add/delete/modify users, or back up/restore the configuration file.

 

∙ Management: Users of this level can perform any operations on the switch.

 

 

Password

Set the password for the user.

 

 

Confirm Password

Input the same password again. Otherwise, the system will prompt that the two

passwords are not consistent when you apply the configuration.

 

 

 

 

Set the password displaying mode.

 

Options include:

Password Display

∙ Simple: Saves the password in the configuration file in plain text so that the

password is displayed in plain text.

Mode

∙ Cipher: Saves the password in the configuration file in cipher text so that the

 

 

password is displayed in cipher text.

 

A plaintext password is not safe. It is good practice to use the cipher mode.

 

 

Service Type

Set the service type, including FTP and Telnet services. You must select either of them.

 

 

Setting the super password

A management level user can set the password for non-management level users to switch to the management level. If the super password is not configured, no switchover can occur.

Select Device Users from the navigation tree, and click the Super Password tab to set the super password.
