Username:

In the above case, you will enter the CLI at the level corresponding to the password you provide

(operator or manager).

If no passwords are set when you log onto the CLI, you will enter at the Manager level. For example:

HP Switch# _

CAUTION: HP strongly recommends that you configure a Manager password. If a Manager

password is not configured, then the Manager level is not password-protected, and anyone having

in-band or out-of-band access to the switch may be able to reach the Manager level and compromise

switch and network security. Note that configuring only an Operator password does not prevent

access to the Manager level by intruders who have the Operator password.

Pressing the Clear button on the front of the switch removes password protection. For this reason,

it is recommended that you protect the switch from physical access by unauthorized persons. If

you are concerned about switch security and operation, you should install the switch in a secure

location, such as a locked wiring closet.
