Page 8-12

Default Accounts

Initially each switch is preconfigured with three default logins (

admin, user

and

diag

). See

Chapter 4, “The User Interface,” for more information about login accounts. If you are logged
into an account with the

WRITE

privilege to the

USER

command you may create or delete

♦ Note♦

At least one

user

account with

WRITE

privileges to use

the

USER

family of commands is required on the switch

at all times. If you attempt to remove or modify the
only user account to

READ-ONLY

privilege, the switch

will reject the modification command.

There are several commands available for modifying the user login accounts on the switch.
To see a list of all user accounts currently available on the switch, use the

userview

command

in the

mode.
