54 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT
For detailed descriptions of CLI commands for configuring SNMPv3
security for users, please refer to the security device user menu.
Please refer to the Management Interface Reference Guide supplied in
HTML format on the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch.
For security reasons, authentication passwords are invalidated if the
SNMPv3 engine id is changed.
3Com recommends you use SNMPv3 where possible for increased
security.
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 Table 9
.
CAUTION: To protect your Switch from unauthorized access, you must
change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your Switch
Tab l e 9 Default Users
Use the admin default user name (no password) to login and carry out
initial Switch setup.
