This chapter discusses different methods of securing local and remote
administration on the CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch (CN4093):
 "Changing the Switch Passwords" on page 73
 "Secure Shell and Secure Copy" on page 74
 "End User Access Control" on page 79
 "Protected Mode" on page 82
It is recommended that you change the administrator and user passwords after
initial configuration and as regularly as required under your network security
policies.
To change the administrator password, you must login using the administrator
password.
The administrator has complete access to all menus, information, and
configuration commands, including the ability to change both the user and
administrator passwords.
The default administrator account is USERID. The default password for the
administrator account is PASSW0RD (with a zero). To change the administrator
password, use the following procedure:
CN 4093(config)# access user administrator-password <password>
The user login has limited control of the switch. Through a user account, you can
view switch information and statistics, but you can't make configuration changes.
The default password for the user account is user. This password can be changed
from the user account. The administrator can change all passwords, as shown in
the following procedure.
CN 4093(config)# access user user-password <password>
