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.
