wish to continue. Enter a Y .
2. Type a password for this Octet switch and press Enter . This password can be up to
eight characters long.
3. You will be prompted to re-type the password. After completing this step, security
will be active and you will not be able to access Octet switch terminal operations
without the password.
To change the password:
Select the Set/Change Password menu option. You will be prompted to type the old
password and a new one. Re-enter the new password to verify.
