Configuring Username and Password Security
Overview
Console access includes both the menu interface and the CLI. There are two
levels of console access: Manager and Operator. For security, you can set a
password pair (username and password) on each of these levels.
Notes Usernames are optional. Also, in the menu interface, you can configure
passwords, but not usernames. To configure usernames, use the CLI or the
WebAgent.
Beginning with software release K.12.xx, usernames and passwords for Man-
ager and Operator access can also be configured using SNMP. For more
information, refer to “Using SNMP To View and Configure Switch Authentica-
tion Features” on page 6-32.
