Default Username Each Username has a security level associated with it. Username 3 is the least privileged and the security level goes up to Username 0, which is the most privileged, as described in Table 3-2. Table 3-2. Default Username Default User Name Description user (Username 3) Gives users access to any commands that do not change a switch state, such as version. This level is the recommended level for monitoring switch activity. admin (Username 0) Gives users access to all commands in the Help menu. Most switch administration is performed at this level. The system administrator may assign different usernames than those listed, if desired. The user at a particular security level, however, has the same privileges regardless of the name assigned. Changing Passwords The initial default password for all usernames is password. Change the default passwords during installation to meet the fabric's security requirements. To change user passwords, perform the following steps: 1. Log in as admin. 2. Type the command passwd. 3. Each username (admin, user, other) is displayed in sequence, allowing the administrator to modify each password and name. 4. Enter a password or name while a username is displayed to replace the existing password or name. NOTE: If you lose the password, contact Dell for technical assistance. Managing With SNMP Under Dell OpenManage NOTICE: SNMP settings on the switch pose a security risk. When setting up the SNMP settings for the PowerVault 51F system, the user must set up the community name and trap recipients IP address. The first three community names have read/write (rw) permissions, whereas the last three have read-only (ro). This means that the default Secret Code, OrigEquipMfr, and private communities could pose a security breach. Anyone knowing the default community names of the switch could perform SNMP sets on the switch and change its configuration values. 3-4 Dell PowerVault 51F 8-Port Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
