Using The Command Line Interface; To Set The Manager User Name And Password - ProCurve 420 Installation And Getting Started Manual

Getting Started With Access Point Configuration
Many other features can be configured through the access point's console
interface to optimize the access point's performance, to enhance your control
of the network traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address
has been configured on the access point, these features can be accessed more
conveniently through a remote Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session, or
through the access point's Web browser interface.
For more information on IP addressing, refer to "Configuring IP Settings" in
the Management and Configuration Guide.
N o t e
By default, the access point is configured to acquire an IP address configura-
tion from a DHCP server. To use DHCP instead of the manual method
described in this chapter, see "Configuring IP Settings" in the Management
and Configuration Guide, available on the ProCurve Web site at
http://www.hp.com/rnd/support/manuals/420.htm.

Using the Command Line Interface

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the access point for
management and password protection in your network is to use a direct
console connection to the access point, start a console session, and access
the command line interface (CLI).

To Set the Manager User Name and Password

Management access to the access point's Web and CLI interface is controlled
through user names and passwords. A Manager user name and password
allows full read/write privileges for the Web and CLI. An Operator user name
and password can also be configured. The Operator is restricted to read-only
access. A maximum of only two users can be configured, one Manager and
one Operator.
