Configuring Username and Password Security
Overview
Note The manager and operator passwords and (optional) usernames control
access to the menu interface, CLI, and web browser interface.
If you configure only a Manager password (with no Operator password), and
in a later session the Manager password is not entered correctly in response
to a prompt from the switch, then the switch does not allow management
access for that session.
If the switch has a password for both the Manager and Operator levels, and
neither is entered correctly in response to the switch’s password prompt, then
the switch does not allow management access for that session.
Passwords are case-sensitive.
Caution If the switch has neither a Manager nor an Operator password, anyone
having access to the switch through either Telnet, the serial port, or the web
browser interface can access the switch with full manager privileges. Also,
if you configure only an Operator password, entering the Operator pass-
word enables full manager privileges.
The rest of this chapter covers how to:
Set passwords
Delete passwords
Recover from a lost password
Maintain front-panel security
