Usage Guidelines
•
At least one user with SHA/MD5 authentication and/or DES encryption must be configured on the
switch for SNMPv3 communication with OmniVista.
•
Note that the exclamation point (!) is not a valid password character. In addition, specifying an asterisk
(*) as one or more characters in a password is allowed as long as every character is not an asterisk. For
example, password **123456** is allowed; password ******** is not allowed.
•
A password expiration for the user's current password may be configured with the expiration option.
However, if the password is changed, or the global password expiration setting is configured with the
user password-expiration
global expiration setting.
•
When modifying a user's SNMP access, the user password must be re-entered (or a new one config-
ured). This is required because the hash algorithm used to save the password in the switch depends on
the SNMP authentication level.
•
At initial startup, the default user on the switch is admin with a password of switch. The switch will
not recreate this user at any successive startup as long as there exists at least one user defined with
write access to all commands. (Note that if password expiration is configured for the admin user, or
configured globally through the
word expires, the admin user will have access only through the console port.)
•
New users or updated user settings are saved automatically.
