Changing passwords

Configure new passwords for each access level, or change the logon or password for the different access levels of the switch. After you receive the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, use default passwords to initially access the NNCLI. If you use Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3), you can change encrypted passwords.

Prerequisites

You must use an account with read/write/all privileges to change passwords. For security, the switch saves passwords to a hidden file.

You must log on to the Global Configuration mode in the NNCLI.
