System logon

After the platform boot sequence is complete, a logon prompt appears. The following table shows the default values for logon and password for console and Telnet sessions.

Note

With enhanced secure mode enabled, the person in the role-based authentication level of administrator configures the login and password values for the other role-based authentication levels. The administrator initially logs on to the switch using the default login of admin and the default password of admin. After the initial login, the switch prompts the administrator to create a new password.
