User-defined accounts

The User tab of the Switch Administration window (see Figure 106 on page 217) displays account

information. You can create and manage accounts depending on your role:

Virtual Fabrics considerations

If no home logical fabric ID is specified for a user, the system provides a default home ID. The

default home ID is 128.

Admin Domain considerations

For legacy users with no Admin Domain specified, the user has access to AD 0 through 255

(physical fabric admin) if their current role is Admin; otherwise, the user has access to AD0 only.

If some Admin Domains were defined for the user and all of them are inactive, the user is not

allowed to log in to any switch in the fabric.

If no Home Domain is specified for a user, the system provides a default home domain. The default

home domain for predefined account is AD0. User-defined accounts, the default home domain is

the Admin Domain in the user’s Admin Domain list with the lowest ID.

NOTE

The User tab displays and changes information in the switch database. If you have RADIUS

configured, note that this tab displays the logged-in RADIUS account information but does not allow

the user to modify the RADIUS host server database.
