Figure 25. SHOW BOOT Command
The name of your new active boot configuration file is displayed in the
"Current boot config" field.
To protect the switch from unauthorized access, you should change the
password of the manager account. The password is set with the
USERNAME command in the Global Configuration. Here is the format of
the command.
username username
Both the user name and the password are case sensitive. The password
can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are not permitted.
This example of the command changes the password of the manager
account to "clearsky2a:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# username manager password clearsky2a
Note
Write down the new password and keep it in a safe and secure
location. If you forget the manager password, you will not be able to
manage the switch if there are no other management accounts on
the unit, and will have to contact Allied Telesis Technical Support for
assistance.
For instructions on how to create additional management accounts, refer
to Chapter 69, "Local Manager Accounts" on page 1091.
The switch will be easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch's
name is displayed in the screen banner when you log on and replaces the
"awplus" in the command line prompt.
A name is assigned to the switch with the HOSTNAME command in the
Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:
name
