Changing the
Password
Changing the Network Manager password prevents unauthorized users from
accessing the bridge/router or tunnel switch. You should change the password
immediately after you log on for the first time.
The privilege level determines which commands and parameters a user can access.
Each level has its own password. You must set the Network Manager password and
the User password to be the same in order to provide equal levels of security. If only
the Network Manager password is set, any other user receives User level privileges.
Users with NetMgr privileges can lower their privileges without a password. Users
with User privileges cannot raise their privileges. To raise privileges after lowering
them, you must enter the password again.
The Network Manager password must be set before the User password. The User
password must be cleared before the Network Manager password.
