setting. For more information, see

”Configuring SNMP” on page 4-9.

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:

* SummitPx1:19#

The prompt ends with

>

if you are logged in with user-level privileges, and with

#

if

you are logged in with administrative privileges. For more information, see
“Configuring Management Access” on page 4-4.

User

A user-level account has viewing access to all manageable parameters except the
user account database and the 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:

SummitPx1:2>
