B Understanding legacy password behavior This appendix provides password information for early versions of Fabric OS firmware. Password management information Table 103 describes the password standards and behaviors between various versions of firmware. Table 103 Account/password characteristics matrix Topic 4.0.0 4.1.0 to 4.2.0 4.4.0 and later Number of default accounts on the switch Default account names 4, chassis-based root, factory, admin, user Core Switch 2/64 8 for the director, 4 per switch. All other switches and directors - 4. root, factory, admin, user; administrative account is called USERID Core Switch 2/64 - 8 for the director, 4 per switch. All other switches and directors - 4. root, factory, admin, user; administrative account is called USERID Account name changing No feature No, regardless of security mode. Supports the userRename command. Maximum and minimum number of characters for a password 0 - 8 (Standard UNIX) 8 - 40 characters with printable ASCII 8 - 40 characters with printable ASCII Note: The minimum password length for 5.1.0 is configurable. Can different switch instances No use a different password for the same account login level? For example, the password for admin for switch 0 can be different from password for admin for switch 1. Does the root account use No restricted shell? Yes for Core Switch 2/64. n/a for all other switches. Yes for Core Switch 2/64. n/a for all other switches. No No When connecting to a Yes Yes 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. Old password is required only when changing password for the same level user password. Changing password for lower level user does not require old password. For example, users connect as admin; old admin password is required to change the admin password. But old user password is not required to change the user password. 4.4.0 to 5.1.0 only: Old password is required only when changing password for the same level user password. Changing password for lower level user does not require old password. For example, users connect as admin; old admin password is required to change the admin password. But old user password is not required to change the user password. Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 537
