Configuring AAA for Administrative and Local Access
Types of Administrative Access
MSS allows you access to the switch with the following types of administrative access:
• Console - Access via only the console port.
• Telnet - Users who access MSS via the Telnet protocol.
• Secure Shell (SSH) - Users who access MSS via the SSH protocol.
• Web View - A Web-based application for configuring and managing a single switch
through a Web browser. Web View uses a secure connection via Hypertext
Transfer
Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS).
First-Time Configuration via the Console
Administrators must initially configure the DWS-1008 switch with a computer or terminal
connected to the DWS-1008 console port through a serial cable. Telnet access is not initially
enabled.
To configure a previously unconfigured DWS-1008 switch via the console, you must complete
the following tasks:
• Enable an administrator.
• Configure authentication.
• Optionally, configure accounting.
• Save the configuration.
Enabling an Administrator
To enable yourself as an administrator, you must log in to the DWS-1008 switch from the
console. Until you set the enable password and configure authentication, the default username
and password are blank. Press Enter when prompted for them. To enable an administrator:
1.
Log in to the DWS-1008 switch from the serial console, and press Enter when the switch
displays a username prompt:

3.

Once you see this prompt after you have typed the
enable
command, you have administrative
privileges, which allow you to further configure the DWS-1008 switch.
