Administrators are the only ones that may make permanent changes to the switch
configuration—changes that are persistent across a reboot/reset of the switch. Administrators
can access switch functions to configure and troubleshoot problems on the
switch. Because
administrators can also make temporary (operator-level) changes as well, they must be aware
of the interactions between temporary and permanent changes.
Access to switch functions is controlled through the use of unique surnames and passwords. Once
you are connected to the switch via local Telnet, remote Telnet, or SSH, you are prompted to enter
a password. The default user names/password for each access level are listed in the following table.
Note – It is recommended that you change default switch passwords after initial configuration and
as regularly as required under your network security policies.
Note – With the exception of the “admin” user, access to each user level can be disabled by setting
the password to an empty value.
Idle Timeout
By default, the switch will disconnect your Telnet session after ten minutes of inactivity. This function
is controlled by the following command, which can be set from 1 to 60 minutes:
system idle <1-60>
Command mode: Global Configuration
