Configuring Management Access
Summit 300-48 Switch Software User Guide 29
User Account
A user-level account has viewing access to all manageable parameters, with the exception of:
• User account database.
• SNMP community strings.
A user-level account can use the ping command to test device reachability, and change the password
assigned to the account name. If you have logged on with user capabilities, the command-line prompt
ends with a (>) sign. For example:
Summit 300-48:2>
Administrator Account
An administrator-level account can view and change all switch parameters. It can also add and delete
users, and change the password associated with any account name. The administrator can disconnect a
management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user
logged on by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.
If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command-line prompt ends with a (#) sign.
For example:
Summit 300-48:18#
Prompt Text
The prompt text is taken from the SNMP sysname setting. The number that follows the colon indicates
the sequential line/command number.
If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command-line prompt, it indicates that you have outstanding
configuration changes that have not been saved. For example:
*Summit 300-48:19#
Default Accounts
By default, the switch is configured with two accounts, as shown in Table 7.
