Setting Password Protection
The SW3322/SW3323/SW3324 switch is factory-configured with access rights
to the console menus set to READ/WRITE. This setting allows anyone to use
the console menus to modify any operational parameter. To protect the
configuration of the switch from unauthorized modification, you should enable
password protection to the console menus.
To enter a password, do the following:
1.
Select Password from the System Configuration Menu and press [Enter].
2.
Enter a password containing six to eight alphanumeric characters.
The password is not case sensitive. For verification, you are asked to enter your
password again. If both entries agree, the new password is stored.
By factory default, there is a password configured. At the
login: prompt,
type “public” and press [Enter] to gain READ/WRITE access to the console
menus. When you configure the password parameter, the factory default setting
is deactivated and the new password governs access to the console menus.
After you enter a password and logout using the Logout command from the
Main Menu, all access rights change to READ-ONLY. The current level of
access control is indicated at the top of the management screen.
If forget your password, contact Compaq Customer Support.
NOTE: You are automatically logged out from the console menus based on the
Screen Timeout setting in the System Configuration Menu. A setting of “0” permits
the console menus to remain available indefinitely.
