NOTE: You can set the same string as a Security password and SNMP Community
Name. This will allow you to access and manage the switch whether you are starting
Local Management session via a Telnet connection or local COM port connection, or by
using a network SNMP management application.
If you use a string for the security password and a different one for the SNMP
Community Name, the two cannot be used interchangeably to access the switch. The
access levels can also be configured to be different.
How to Access
Turn on the terminal. Press ENTER (this may take up to four times, because the COM port of the
switch auto-senses the baud rate of the terminal) until the Local Management Password screen
displays.
