38 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
System Access
Click Administration, then System Access on
the menu. A screen appears with six system
access tabs:
User Summary
Create User
Modify User
Remove User
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing
the Web interface and modifying the Switch’s
settings, the interface is password-protected.
The default admin account settings are:
User name – admin
Password – blank (no password)
To ensure that unauthorized users do not
access the Web interface, 3Com recommends
that you set an admin password when you first
configure the Switch.
Even if you do not intend to actively manage
the switch, 3Com recommends that you
change the password to prevent unauthorized
access to your network.
The password can be up to 8 characters long
and is case-sensitive.
If you forget the administration password after
you set it, refer to
Forgotten Password on
page 74 for information on how to regain
access to the Web interface.
User Summary
Displays the list of user names and their access
level.
