After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized
access to the switch, and record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the switch, follow these steps:
●
At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user name> and press the
Enter key.
●
The switch will then prompt the user for a password. Type the <password> used for the
administrator account being created and press the Enter key.
●
Again, the user will be prompted to enter the same password again to verify it. Type the same
password and press the Enter key.
●
Successful creation of the new administrator account will be verified by a Success message.
NOTE
Passwords are case sensitive. User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in length.
The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a new administrator-level account with the user
name "newmanager"

CAUTION
CLI configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and are not saved when the switch
is rebooted. To save all your configuration changes in nonvolatile storage, you must use the save command to copy
the running configuration file to the startup configuration.
SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed
specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management
stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use
SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential
problems in the switch, switch group or network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on
the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to
manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides
#create account admin newmanager
Command: create account admin newmanager
