Configuring PowerConnect 3524/P and 3548/P 57
Configuring Security Passwords
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
• Terminal
• Telnet
• SSH
•HTTP
•HTTPS
NOTE: Passwords are user-defined.
NOTE: When creating a user name, the default priority is 1, which allows access but not configuration rights.
A priority of 15 must be set to enable access and configuration rights to the device. Although user names can
be assigned privilege level 15 without a password, it is recommended to always assign a password. If there is no
specified password, privileged users can access the Web interface with any password.
NOTE: Passwords can be secured by using password management commands to force aging-out of passwords,
or expiration of passwords. For more information, see "Security Management and Password Configuration" on
page 56.
