Security Management and Password Configuration

System security is handled through the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting)

mechanism that manages user access rights, privileges, and management methods. AAA uses both local

and remote user databases. Data encryption is handled through the SSH mechanism.

The system is delivered with no default password configured; all passwords are user-defined. If a user-

defined password is lost, a password recovery procedure can be invoked from the Boot menu. The

procedure is applicable for the local terminal only and allows a one-time access to the switch from the

local terminal with no password entered.

Configuring Security Passwords

The security passwords can be configured for the following services:

NOTE: When creating a user name, the default priority is 1, which allows access but not configuration rights. A

priority of 15 must be set to enable access and configuration rights to the switch.
