Changing the Default Passwords 73 The default write community string is private. To change this setting, in System View, enter display snmp community. To manage your switch using an SNMP network management application, you need to specify the same SNMP community strings for the users defined on the switch and the management application. You can do this using the command line interface system management snmp community command. Refer to the command line interface section of the "Switch 5500 Family Command Reference Guide" for more information. SNMP V3 is on as default. All commands are in the SNMP menu in System View. Changing the Default Passwords If you intend to manage the switch using the Web interface or the command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to log in with a valid user name and password. The switch has three default user names, and each user name has a different password and access level. These default users are listed in Table 22. CAUTION: To protect your switch from unauthorized access, you should change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not intend to actively manage your switch.
