workstation.
Pre-requisites
Documentation supplied with the SNMP network management 
application software.
To manage your Switch using an SNMP network management 
application, you need to specify SNMP community strings for the users 
defined on the Switch. You can do this using the command line interface 
system management snmp community command — refer to the 
command line interface section of the “SuperStack 3 Switch 
Management Interface Reference Guide” for more information.
Default Users and 
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 level of 
access. These default users are listed in Table 9.
CAUTION: To protect your Switch from unauthorized access, you must 
change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not 
intend to actively manage your Switch
Table 9   Default Users
Use the admin default user name (no password) to login and carry out 
initial Switch setup.
