Configuring Management Access
Summit24e3 Switch Installation and User Guide 45
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:
Summit24e3:2>
Administrator Account
An administrator-level account can view and change all switch parameters. It can also add and delete
users, and change the password associated with any account name. The administrator can disconnect a
management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user
logged on by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.
If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command-line prompt ends with a (#) sign.
For example:
Summit24e3:18#
Prompt Text
The prompt text is taken from the SNMP
sysname
setting. 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:
*Summit24e3:19#
Default Accounts
By default, the switch is configured with two accounts, as shown in Table 11.
Changing the Default Password
Default accounts do not have passwords assigned to them. Passwords must have a minimum of four
characters and can have a maximum of 12 characters.
NOTE
User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
