User Access
Once a direct connection to the serial port or a Telnet connection is
established, the login screen for the on-board configuration program
appears
. You may need to press Enter a few times to display the screen.
The default user names are “admin” and “guest,” with no passwords. The
administrator has Read/Write access, which allows you to read and
modify switch information. The guest has Read Only access to the
management program, which allows you to view switch information, but
not modify any operating parameters.
You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a
safe place. From the Main Menu, select Management Setup Menu /
Console Login Configuration, and enter a new password for the default
administrator. Passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric
characters and are not case sensitive.
To use the console menus, do the following:
1. Use the cursor keys to highlight the desired option.
If the selected item is a submenu title, the submenu is displayed
when you press the Enter key.
2. Follow the screen prompts to specify the parameter requested.
If the selected item is a parameter, the system displays a prompt for
you to enter a new value. If the value entered is invalid, a message
displays, requesting you to enter a valid value.
A user is allowed three attempts to enter the correct
password; on the third failed attempt the current
connection is terminated.
