Configuring Security Passwords
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
•Console
•Telnet
• SSH
•HTTP
•HTTPS
NOTE: Passwords are user-defined.
NOTE: When creating a user name, the default priority is "1", which allows access but not
configuration rights. A priority of "15" must be specifically set to enable access and
configuration rights to the device.
For more information about password limitation, see "Configuring Network Security".
