68 Configuring & Monitoring the Switch VH-2402S
Setting Password Protection
The VH-2402S switch is factory-configured with administrator 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 Management Setup Menu from the Main Menu and press
[Enter].
2. Select Console Login Configuration and press [Enter].
3. For the “ADMIN” user type, enter a password containing up to 11
alphanumeric characters. Note that the password is not case
sensitive.
By factory default, there is no password configured. This means that at
the login: prompt, all you have to do is type “admin” for the username 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.
If you forget your password, contact your Enterasys Networks Support
Representative.
You are automatically logged out from the console menus
based on the Lock-out Time setting in the Console Login
Configuration Menu. A setting of “0” permits the console
menus to remain available indefinitely.
