user
(Username
2)
Gives users access to all Show commands plus any commands in the help menu that do not change a switch
state, such as version. This level is the recommended level for monitoring switch activity.
admin
(Username
1)
Gives users access to all Show commands, plus any commands in the help menu. Most switch administration is
performed at this level.
The system administrator may assign different usernames than those listed, if desired. The user at a
particular security level, however, has the same privileges regardless of the name assigned.
Changing Passwords
The initial default password for all usernames is password. Change the default passwords during
installation to meet the Fabric's security requirements.
To change user passwords, perform the following steps:
1. Log in as admin.
2. Issue the command passwd.
3. Each username (admin, user, other) is displayed in sequence, allowing the admininstrator to modify
each password and name.
4. Enter a password or name while a username is displayed to replace the existing password or name.
NOTE: If you lose the password, contact Dell Technical Support.
Managing with SNMP Under Dell OpenManage™ and the PowerVault™ 50F Switch
Manager
The resident SNMP manage node allows remote switch management via IP over Ethernet and Fibre
Channel interfaces.
Dell Openmanage integrates the PowerVault™ 50F Switch through HP OpenView Network Node Manager
Special Edition (NNM SE) in a Windows NT environment. You can use Dell OpenManage™ to manage this
device. If you have a PowerVault™ 50F Switch connected in your network, it will be automatically discovered
as a node in the node submap of HP OpenView NNM SE. In order to launch the PowerVault™ 50F Switch
Management Application, double-click on the discovered FC-Switch node to access the expanded node
submap, and then double click on the Switch Management Application icon.
Refer to your HP OpenView Network Node Manager Special Edition 1.4 with Dell OpenManage™ HIP 3.4
User's Guide for more information on Dell OpenManage.
The switch's manage node supports the following:
SNMPv1 manager
Command line utilities to provide access to and command the manage node
MIB-II system group, interface group, and SNMP group
Fabric Element MIB
Vendor-Specific MIBs
