ROS™ v3.5 32 RS400
1.9 Passwords
These parameters provide the ability to configure parameters for authorized and authenticated
access to the device services (HMI via Serial Console, Telnet, SSH, RSH, Web Server). The
access to the switch can be authorized and authenticated via RADIUS server, or using locally
configured passwords, that are always related to the username and access level.
Note that access via Serial Console is always going to be authorized first using local settings. If
match has not been not found, RADIUS will be used if enabled. For all other services, if
RADIUS is enabled for authentication and authorization, local setting will not be used at all.
To access unit, username and password must be provided.
Three usernames and passwords can be configured. They correspond to three access levels,
which provide or restrict access to change settings and execute various commands within the
device.
• guest users can view most settings, but may not change settings or run commands
• operator cannot change settings, but can reset alarms, clear statistics and logs
• admin user can change all the settings and run commands
