SETTING THE SYSTEM PASSWORD
The administrator has read/write access for all parameters governing the
onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator password
as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
The administrator name “admin” is fixed, but there is no password by
default. The input range for the password is 0-8 plain text characters, and
is case sensitive.
WEB INTERFACE
To configure the System Password in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, System, Password.
2. Enter the old password.
3. Enter the new password.
4. Enter the new password again to confirm your input.
5. Click Save.

FILTERING IP ADDRESSES FOR MANAGEMENT ACCESS
You can create a list of up to 16 IP addresses or IP address groups that are
allowed management access to the switch through the web interface,
SNMP, or Telnet.
The management interfaces are open to all IP addresses by default. Once
you add an entry to a filter list, access to that interface is restricted to the
specified addresses. If anyone tries to access a management interface on
the switch from an invalid address, the switch will reject the connection.
