Figure 4- 2.Command Prompt
Note: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges.It is recommended to create at least one Admin-level user account for the
Switch.
4-7 Password Protection
One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to create user accounts.If you log in using a predefined administrator-level user name,you have privileged
access to the Switch's management software.
After your initial login,define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch,and record the passwords for future
reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch,do the following:
At the CLI login prompt,enter create account admin followed by the <
user name> and press the Enter key.
You will be asked to provide a password.Type the <
password> used for the administrator account being created and press the Enter key.
You will be prompted to enter the same password again to verify it.Type the same password and press the
Enter key.
Successful creation of the new administrator account will be verified by a Success message.
Note: Passwords are case sensitive.User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in length.
The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a new administrator-level account with the user name "newmanager".

Command: create account admin newmanager
Enter a case-sensitive new password:********
Enter the new password again for confirmation:********
Success.

ƽ Caution: CLI configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and are not saved when the Switch is rebooted.To save all your
configuration changes in non
v
olatile storage
,
you must use the save command to copy the running configuration file to the startup configuration.
4-8 SNMP Settings
Simple Netw
ork Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices.SNMP
enables network management stations to r
ead and modify the settings of gateways,routers,switches,and other network devices.Use SNMP to configure system
features for proper operation,
monitor performance and detect potential problems in the Switch,switch group or network.
Managed devices that suppor
t SNMP include softwar
e (r
ef
erred to as an agent),which runs locally on the device.A defined set of variables (managed objects) is
maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device.These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB),which provides a standard
presentation of the information contr
olled b
y the on-boar
d SNMP agent.
SNMP defines both the f
ormat of the MIB specifications and the pr
otocol used to
access this information over the network.
