Default Users and
Passwords
If you intend to manage the Switch using the web interface or the
command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to
log in with a valid user name and password. The Switch has three default
user names, and each user name has a different password and level of
access. These default users are listed in Tab l e 1 0
.
CAUTION:
To protect your Switch from unauthorized access, you must
change all default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your Switch
Table 10 Default Users
Use the admin default user name (no password) to login and carry out
initial Switch setup.
Changing Default
Passwords
You can change the default passwords using either:
■
The security device user modify command on the CLI, or
■
The Security > Device > User > Modify operation on the web interface.
For more information about default users and passwords, refer to the
“Superstack 3 Switch Management Interface Reference Guide” on the
Switch CD-ROM.
