56 Configuring & Monitoring the Switch ELS100-24TXM
Setting Password Protection
The ELS100-24TXM switch is factory-configured with access rights to the
console menus set to READ/WRITE. This setting allows anyone to use
the console menus to modify any operational parameter. To protect the
configuration of the switch from unauthorized modification, you should
enable password protection to the console menus.
To enter a password, do the following:
1.
Select Password from the System Configuration Menu and press
[Enter].
2. Enter a password containing six to eight alphanumeric characters.
The password is not case sensitive. For verification, you are asked to
enter your password again. If both entries agree, the new password is
stored.
By factory default, there is no password configured. This means that at
the
login:
prompt, all you have to do is press [Enter] to gain READ/
WRITE access to the console menus. When you configure the password
parameter, the factory default setting is deactivated and the new
password governs access to the console menus.
After you enter a password and logout using the Logout command from
the Main Menu, all access rights change to READ-ONLY. The current
level of access control is indicated at the top of the management screen.
If you forget your password, contact your Cabletron Systems Support
Representative.
You are automatically logged out from the console menus
based on the Screen Timeout setting in the System Config-
uration Menu. A setting of “0” permits the console menus to
remain available indefinitely.
