48 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT
automatically loads the correct MIBs and necessary files onto your
workstation.
Pre-requisites
■ Documentation supplied with the SNMP network management
application software.
To manage your Switch using an SNMP network management
application, you need to specify SNMP community strings for the users
defined on the Switch. You can do this using the Web management
interface — refer to the command line interface section of the “Switch
Management Interface Reference Guide” for more information.
Default Users and
Passwords
If you intend to manage the Switch using the web interface or the
command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to
log in with a valid user name and password. The Switch has two default
user names, and each user name has a different password and level of
access. These default users are listed in Table 9.
CAUTION: To protect your Switch from unauthorized access, you must
change the two default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your Switch
Table 9 Default Users
Use the admin default user name (no password) to login and carry out
initial Switch setup.
Changing Default
Passwords
You can change the default passwords using either:
■ The gettingStarted command on the CLI, or
■ The Security > Device > User > Modify operation on the web interface.
