Managing switches

This section describes the following tasks that manage switches in the fabric.

Managing user accounts

Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account Administration

Accounts. The User Account Administration dialog box is displayed. A user account includes
an account name or login, password, authority level, and expiration date.

passwords. The Admin account can also view and modify the switch and its configuration with

limited to viewing switch status and configuration.
The Images account can not be removed, and is required for exchanging files with the switch
