User Authentication
You can restrict management access to this switch using the following options:
Passwords – Configures the password for the current user.
Authentication Settings – Use remote authentication to configure access rights.
HTTPS Settings – Provide a secure web connection.
SSH Settings – Provide a secure shell (for secure Telnet access).
Port Security – Configure secure addresses for individual ports.
802.1X – Use IEEE 802.1X port authentication to control access to specific ports.
IP Filter – Filters management access to the web, SNMP or Telnet interface.

Configuring the Logon Password

The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters. However, the
administrator has write access for all parameters governing the onboard agent. You
should therefore assign a new administrator password as soon as possible, and
store it in a safe place.
The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The default
administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.” Note that user names can
only be assigned via the CLI.
