The Summit supports the following two level levels of management:

User 

Administrator

A user-level account has viewing access to all manageable parameters, with the 
exception of the following:

User account database

SNMP community strings

A user-level account can use the 

ping

 command to test device reachability, and change 

the password assigned to the account name. If you have logged on with user 
capabilities, the command-line prompt will end with a (>) sign. For example:

Summit1:2>

An administrator-level account can view and change all switch parameters. It can also 
add and delete users, and change the password associated with any account name. The 
administrator can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of 
a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user logged on by way of the Telnet connection 
is notified that the session has been terminated.

If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command-line prompt will 
end with a (#) sign. For example:

Summit1:18#

The prompt text is taken from the SNMP 

sysname

 setting. The number that follows the 

colon indicates the sequential line/command number. 

If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command-line prompt, it indicates that you 
have outstanding configuration changes that have not been saved. For example:

*Summit1:19#

For more information on saving configuration changes, refer to
