Enterasys C5G124-24 User Manual

Additional Configuration Tasks
1-6 Setting Up a Switch for the First Time
Setting User Accounts and Passwords
Enterasys switches are shipped with three default user accounts:
• A super-user access account with a username of admin and no password
• A read-write access account with a username of rw and no password
• A read-only access account with a username of ro and no password
Enterasys recommends that, for security purposes, you set up one or more unique user accounts
with passwords and disable the default login accounts.
1. Create a new super-user account. This example uses username “NewAdmin”:
C5(su)->set system login NewAdmin super-user enable
2. Set the password for the new super-user account. By default, passwords must be at least 8
characters in length. The interface does not echo the password characters as you enter them.
C5(su)->set password NewAdmin
Please enter new password:
Please re-enter new password:
Password Changed.
3. Verify the new super-user account with the show system login command.
C5(su)->show system login

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create additional read-write and read-only user accounts as desired. To
create read-write or read-only accounts, use these commands:
set system login <user-name> read-write enable
set system login <user-name> read-only enable
Use the set password command to set passwords for the new accounts.
5. Disable the default login accounts.
C5(su)->set system login admin super-user disable
C5(su)->set system login rw read-write disable
C5(su)->set system login ro read-only disable
For more information about configuring user accounts and passwords, refer to Chapter 5, User
Account and Password Management.
Controlling In-band Access to the Switch
By default, SSH is disabled and Telnet is enabled. You may want to require that SSH be used for
in-band access to the switch. In addition, WebView, the Enterasys embedded web-server for
switch configuration, is enabled on TCP port 80 by default. You may want to disable this browser
access also.
1. Enable SSH and show the current state.
C5(su)->set ssh enable
