administration is performed at this level.
root (username 0) Gives access to an extensive command set that can
significantly alter system performance. Root commands
are beyond the scope of this manual. Compaq
recommends consulting customer service before using
root commands.
The system administrator may assign different Usernames than those listed, if
desired. The User at a particular Security Level, however, has the same
privileges regardless of the name assigned.
CAUTION: Access to root should be limited to those responsible for maintaining
and modifying the Fabric. Commands available to root, if used inappropriately,
can cause the Switch to stop functioning or to function abnormally. Root should
only be used at the request of Compaq’s customer service.
