If you intend to manage the Switch using the Web interface or the
command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to
log on with a valid user name and password. The Switch has three default
user names, and each user name has a different password and level of

change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your Switch.
