NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. It is recommended to create at
least one Admin-level user account for the Switch.

Password Protection

The Switch does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to
create user accounts. Once logged in using a predefined administrator-level user name, users will have privileged
access to the Switch's management software.
After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the
Switch, and record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, follow these steps:
 At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user name> and press the Enter key.
 The switch will then prompt the user for a password. Type the <password> used for the administrator account
being created and press the Enter key.
 Again, the user will be prompted to enter the same password again to verify it. Type the same password and
press the Enter key.
 Successful creation of the new administrator account will be verified by a Success message.
NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in
length.
The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a new administrator-level account with the user name
"newmanager".
DES-3200-28P:admin#create account admin newmanager
Command: create account admin newmanager
Enter a case-sensitive new password:********
Enter the new password again for confirmation:********
Success.
DES-3200-28P:admin#
NOTICE: CLI configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and are not saved
when the Switch is rebooted. To save all your configuration changes in nonvolatile storage, you
must use the save command to copy the running configuration file to the startup configuration.
