Table 2 User access levels
User account Description and tasks performed
User The user has no direct responsibility for GbE2 Interconnect Switch management. He or she can view
all GbE2 Interconnect Switch status information and statistics, but cannot make any configuration
changes to the GbE2 Interconnect Switch. The user account is enabled by default.
Operator The operator manages all functions of the GbE2 Interconnect Switch. The operator can reset ports or
the entire GbE2 Interconnect Switch. By default, the operator account is disabled and has no
password.
Administrator The super user administrator has complete access to all menus, information, and configuration
commands on the GbE2 Interconnect Switch, including the ability to change both the user and
administrator passwords.
NOTE: With the exception of the admin user, setting the password to an empty value can disable access to
each user level. By default, user and admin are enabled.
Once you enter the administrator password and it is verified, you are given complete access to the GbE2 Interconnect
Switch.
After logging in, the Main Menu of the CLI is displayed. See the “Menu basics” chapter for a summary of the Main

Idle timeout
By default, the GbE2 Interconnect Switch will disconnect your console, Telnet, or SSH session after five minutes of
inactivity. This function is controlled by the idle timeout parameter, which can be set from 1 to 60 minutes. For
information on changing this parameter, see the “System configuration” section in the “Configuration Menu” chapter.
