Username

Use the username command to create a new user for the switch.

Syntax

FSM726(config)# system username <username>

Where

<username> = the user name you wish to set up for accessing the switch. Please note that this field is case sensitive.

Password

Use this command to set a password for the switch

Syntax

FSM726(config)# system password <password>

Where

<password> = the password you wish to set for the switch.

Firmware boot

The firmware command is used to upgrade the firmware through a variety of options. The boot command is used to configure the way in which the switch will boot after a firmware upgrade. Once the IP address of the TFTP and the path location of the new software image file is properly configured (Please see section 17 & 18), the user can choose one of three options to boot the switch after the firmware has been upgraded.

Net option:

This option allows you to try out a new image before upgrading. It requires a TFTP filename and a server IP address to retrieve the specified image from the given IP address.

The new image will not overwrite the one in non-volatile memory.

Net & save option

This option requires the same setup as the Net option, i.e. TFTP server and a new image. However, it copies the image to non-volatile memory directly and then the system boots from non-volatile memory
