Table 2 User access levels
User account Description and tasks performed
User The User has no direct responsibility for switch management. He or she can view all switch status
information and statistics, but cannot make any configuration changes to the switch.
The user account is enabled by default, and the default password is user.
Oper The Operator has no direct responsibility for switch management. He or she can view all switch
status information and statistics, but cannot make any configuration changes to the switch.
By default, the operator account is disabled and has no password.
Admin The super user administrator has complete access to all command modes on the switch, including
the ability to change both the user and administrator passwords.
The admin account is enabled by default, and the default password is admin.
NOTE: With the exception of the admin user, access to each user level can be disabled by setting the
password to an empty value.
Once you enter the administrator password and it is verified, you are given complete access to the GbE2c.
Idle timeout
By default, the GbE2c disconnects the console, Telnet, or SSH session after five minutes of inactivity. This function is
controlled by the idle timeout parameter, which can be set from 1 to 60 minutes. To change this parameter, see the
“System configuration” section in the “Configuration Commands” chapter.
