D-Link DES-3528DC [31/260] Password protection

DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch

Password Protection

The DES-3550 does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to

create user accounts. If you log in using a predefined administrator-level user name, you have privileged access to the

Switch's management software.

After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch,

and record the passwords for future reference.

To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, do the following:

At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user name> and press the Enter key. •

NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. User names and passwords can be up to

15 characters in length.

The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a new administrator-level account with the user name "newmanager".

DES-3550:4#create account admin newmanager

Command: create account admin newmanager

Enter a case-sensitive new password:********

Enter the new password again for confirmation:********
