use a different password for
the same account login level?

for admin for switch 0 can be
different from password for
admin for switch 1.
No Yes for Core Switch
2/64.
n/a for all other
switches.
Yes for Core Switch
2/64.
n/a for all other
switches.
Does the root account use
restricted shell?
No No No
When connecting to a
factory installed switch, do
you use the default
passwords?
Yes Yes Yes
Does a user need to know the
old passwords when
changing passwords using
the
passwd
command?
Yes, except when
the root user
changes another
user’s password.
This is standard
UNIX behavior;
Fabric OS does not
enforce any
additional security.
Old password is
required only when
changing password for
the same level user
password. Changing
password for lower level
user does not require
old password. For
example, users connect
as admin; old admin
password is required to
change the admin
password. But old user
password is not
required to change the
user password.
4.4.0 to 5.1.0 only:
Old password is
required only when
changing password for
the same level user
password. Changing
password for lower level
user does not require old
password. For example,
users connect as admin;
old admin password is
required to change the
admin password. But old
user password is not
required to change the
user password.
