More Information On User Accounts. A user account 
includes a login name, password, and user privileges. 
Privileges determine whether the user has read or write 
access to the switch and which commands the user is 
authorized to execute.

For detailed information on setting up and modifying user 
accounts and user privileges, refer to the Switch Manage-
ment Guide.

The Ethernet Management Port (EMP) is located on the CMM 
module. The EMP allows you to bypass the Network Interface 
(NI) modules and manage the switch over the network directly 
through the CMM. 

In order to ping the switch through the EMP Ethernet connec-
tion, you must change the port’s default IP and gateway 
addresses.

To change the default IP and gateway addresses, refer to the 
following steps. 

Note. You must be connected to the switch via the console 
port before attempting to change IP address information. 
Otherwise, an error message will display.

1 Enter modify boot parameters at the CLI prompt. The 
boot prompt displays:

Boot >

2 At the boot prompt, enter boot empipaddr, followed 
by the new default IP address for the EMP. For example:

Boot > boot empipaddr 168.22.2.120

3 Next, enter boot empgatewayipaddr, followed by the 
new default gateway address for the EMP. For example:

Boot > boot empgatewayipaddr 168.22.2.254

4 Verify your current changes by entering show at the 
boot prompt: 

Boot > show

Edit buffer contents:

EMP IP Address            : 168.22.2.120

EMP Gateway IP Address    : 168.22.2.254

Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is Class C 
(255.255.255.0). If you must change this default value, 
use the boot empnetmask command at the boot prompt.
