The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The

default administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”

The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters.

However, the administrator has write access for all parameters

governing the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new

administrator password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.

These parameters are displayed:

User Name – The name of the user.

(Maximum length: 32 characters; maximum number of users: 16)

Access Level – Specifies the user level. (Options: 0 - Normal,

15 - Privileged)
Normal privilege level provides access to a limited number of the

commands which display the current status of the switch, as well as

several database clear and reset functions. Privileged level provides full

access to all commands.

Password – Specifies the user password.

(Range: 0-32 characters plain text, case sensitive)

Confirm Password – Re-type the string entered in the previous field

to ensure no errors were made. The switch will not change the

password if these two fields do not match.
