NBB-1600-D20/D16 Series: Network Boot Bars - User's Guide

5.3.3.1.  Plug Passwords and Co-Location Features

The Plug Passwords, which are defined via the Plug Parameters Menu(s) allow 

you to determine which plugs an individual user will be permitted to control.  

When a plug password is entered while logging into command mode, the user 

will be able to issue switching and reboot commands for the corresponding 

plug, and every other plug that shares this same password.
For example, if the plug password "switch" is defined for plugs 1, 2, and three, 

then if a user logs into command mode using the password "switch", that user 

will be allowed to issue switching and reboot commands to plugs 1, 2, and 3, 

but not plugs 4 through 16.  
Note that the Plug Passwords do not allow access to configuration functions, 

and users are only allowed to view the status of the plugs that are permitted by 

their password.
