Figure 24. SHOW BOOT Command
The name of your new active boot configuration file is displayed in the
“Current boot config” field.
Changing the
Login Password
To protect the switch from unauthorized access, you should change the
password of the manager account. The password is set with the
USERNAME command in the Global Configuration. Here is the format of
the command.
username
username
password
password
Both the user name and the password are case sensitive. The password
can consist of 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters including punctuation and
printable special characters. Spaces are not permitted.
This example of the command changes the password of the manager
account to “clearsky2a:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# username manager password clearsky2a
Note
Write down the new password and keep it in a safe and secure
location. If you forget the manager password, you cannot manage
the switch if there are no other management accounts on the unit. In
this case, contact Allied Telesis Technical Support for assistance.
For instructions on how to create additional management accounts, refer
to Chapter 76, “Local Manager Accounts” on page 1259.
Assigning a Name
to the Switch
The switch will be easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch’s
name is displayed in the screen banner when you log on and replaces the
“awplus” in the command line prompt.
A name is assigned to the switch with the HOSTNAME command in the
Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:
hostname
name
A name can consist of up to 39 alphanumeric characters. Spaces,
punctuation, special characters, and quotation marks are not permitted.
