Management Security Settings

You can configure the login password, Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
settings, Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS) settings, and
authentication lists.

Configure Users

By default, two user accounts exist:
• admin, with read/write privileges
• guest, with read only privileges
By default, both of these accounts do not have passwords. The names are not
case-sensitive.
If you log in as the admin user, you are assigned read/write privileges and you can use the
User Management screen to assign passwords and set security parameters for the default
user accounts, and add and delete accounts (other than admin), up to a maximum of six.
Only the admin user account is allowed read/write privileges.
