Password Screen
3-6 Accessing Local Management
3.2 PASSWORD SCREEN
When to Use
To start a Local Management session, which is controlled through the Local Management
Password screen. Whenever a connection is made to the switch module the Local Management
Password screen displays. Before continuing, you must enter a password, which is compared to the
previously stored passwords and associated management level access policy configured using the
Security screen described in
Section 3.7 . The level of access allowed the user depends on the
password. To set or change passwords, refer to Section 5.4 .
The level of management access is dependent on the Password and the associated Access Policy
configured in the Password Configuration screen described in
Section 4.4 .
How to Access
Turn on the terminal. Press ENTER (this may take up to four times, because the COM port of the
switch module auto-senses the baud rate of the terminal) until the Local Management Password
screen displays.
Figure 3-4 shows the Password screen.
NOTE: You can set the same string as a Security password and SNMP Community
Name. This will allow you to access and manage the switch whether you are starting a
Local Management session via a Telnet connection or local COM port connection, or
using a network SNMP management application.
If you utilize a string for the security password and a different one for the SNMP
Community Name, the two cannot be used interchangeably to access the switch
module. The access levels can also be configured to be different.
