Chapter 8 User Authentication

Switching Between Entities

Switching between the entities, does not effect the security level since security levels are
established specifically for each user. For example, if the operator with a privileged security
level in the Switch entity switches to the Router entity the privileged security level is
retained.
If you wish to increase security, you can change the default user accounts and SNMP
communities. It is strongly recommended that you change the default user account
authentication credentials and SNMP communities
The W310 Device Manager Web management passwords are the same as those of the CLI. If
you change the passwords of the CLI then those passwords become active for the W310
Device Manager as well.

Using the CLI: Entering the Supervisor Level

The Supervisor level is the level in which you first enter W310 CLI and establish user names
for up to 10 local users. When you enter the Supervisor level, you are asked for a Login
name. Type root as the Login name and the default password root (in lowercase
letters):
Welcome to W310
Login: root
Password:****
Password accepted.
W310(super)#
