Managing User Accounts
Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account
Administration dialogs. However, any user can modify their own password. To
open the User Account Administration dialogs, open the Switch menu and select
User Accounts. A user account consists of the following:
Account name or login
Password
Authority level
Expiration date
Switches come from the factory with the following user accounts:
The Admin account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the
User Account Administration dialogs. The Admin account can create, remove, or
modify user accounts, and change account passwords. The Admin account can
also view and modify the switch and its configuration with QuickTools. The Admin
account can not be removed.
Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration
using QuickTools. Users without Admin authority are limited to viewing switch
status and configuration.
The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using FTP. The
Images account can not be removed.
Table 4-2. Factory User Accounts
Account Name Password Admin Authority Expiration
admin password true never expires
images images false never expires
NOTE: If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server,
that user can login with either password, but the authority and account
expiration will always come from the switch database.
