D Understanding legacy password behavior The following sections provide password information for early versions of Fabric OS firmware. Password management information Table 48 describes the password standards and behaviors between various versions of firmware. Table 48 Account and password characteristics matrix Characteristic Version 4.0.0 Number of default 4, chassis-based accounts on the switch Default account names root, factory, admin, user Maximum and minimum amount of characters for a password 0-8 (Standard UNIX) Can different switch No instances use a different password for the same account login level? For example, can the password for admin for switch 0 be different from the password for admin for switch 1? Does the root account No use restricted shell? When connecting to a Yes factory-installed switch, do you use the default passwords? Does a user need to know the old passwords when changing passwords using the passwd command? Yes, except when the root user changes another user's password. This is standard UNIX behavior; Fabric OS does not enforce any additional security. Versions 4.1.0 to 4.2.0 Core Switch 2/64-8 for the chassis, 4 per switch SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Director 2/128-4 root, factory, admin, user Versions 4.4.0 to 5.0.1 Core Switch 2/64-8 for the chassis, 4 per switch SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/32, and SAN Switch 4/32, and SAN Director 2/128-4 root, factory, admin, user 8-40 characters with printable ASCII 8-40 characters with printable ASCII Yes for Core Switch 2/64. Yes for Core Switch 2/64. N/A for all other switches. N/A for all other switches. No No Yes Yes The old password is required only when changing the password for the same level of user password. Changing the password for a lower-level user does not require the old password. For example, when users connect as admin, the old admin password is required to change the admin password, but the old user password is not required to change the user password. The old password is required only when changing the password for the same level of user password. Changing the password for a lower-level user does not require the old password. For example, when users connect as admin, the old admin password is required to change the admin password, but the old user password is not required to change the user password.
