Configuring the

Management

Passwords

There are two levels of management access on an AT-8000 Series switch:

Manager and Operator. When you log in as a Manager, you can view and

configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an

Operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot

change any values.

The default password for Manager access is “friend”. The default

password for Operator access is “operator”. A password can be from 0 to

20 alphanumeric characters. Passwords are case-sensitive.

Caution

You should not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*)

and exclamation points (!), in a password if you will be managing the

switch from a web browser. Many web browsers cannot handle

special characters in passwords.

To change the Manager or Operator password, perform the following

procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administrator Menu.

2. From the Administrator Menu, type 7 to select Set Password.

The Passwords Menu is shown in Figure 7.

3. Type 1 to change the Manager password or type 2 to change the

The new password is automatically saved by the management

software. You do not need to use the Save Configuration Changes

menu selection to permanently save the new password.
