User Guide for the Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice Switches, v6.1

Chapter 5

You must change user passwords when the engine ID changes. 

To change a user password, use the following CLI command: 

(configure)# 

The switch prompts you to enter the new password or passwords. The 
passwords are case-sensitive and can range from 8 to 64 characters. For 
security reasons, the CLI does not display the passwords when you enter 
them. 

With the introduction of SNMPv3, configuration of SNMPv1 and v2 
community strings has changed. Community strings are now associated 
with groups instead of custom access types. 

The ATM Uplink module, however, does not support SNMPv3 or groups. 
To access the ATM-Uplink module OIDs by community string, you must 
create a string specifically for that module and assign it read-only or read-
write access.
