DXS/DWS 3200 Series User Guide User Name A user name is used to manage the device remotely, for example through SSH, Telnet, or the Web interface. To gain complete administrative (super-user) control over the device, the highest privilege (15) must be specified. Note Only the administrator (super-user) with the highest privilege level (15) is allowed to manage the device through the Web browser interface. For more information about the privilege level, see the CLI Reference Guide. The configured user name is entered as a login name for remote management sessions. To configure user name and privilege level, enter the command at the system prompt as shown in the configuration example: Console> enable Console# configure Console(config)# username admin password lee privilege 15 SNMP Community Strings Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices supporting SNMP run a local software (agent). The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, used to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB presents the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification format, as well as the format used to access the information over the network. Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings and SNMP community strings. The device is SNMP-compliant and contains an SNMP agent that supports a set of standard and private MIB variables. Developers of management stations require the exact structure of the MIB tree and receive the complete private MIBs information before being able to manage the MIBs. All parameters are manageable from any SNMP management platform, except the SNMP management station IP address and community (community name and access rights). The SNMP management access to the switch is disabled if no community strings exist. Note The device switch is delivered with no community strings configured. Page 36
