Default User Settings
The default user account on the switch is used for storing new user defaults for privileges and profile
information. This account does not include a password and cannot be used to log into the switch.
At the first switch startup, the default user account is configured for:
• No read or write access.
• No SNMP access.
• No end-user profile.
Any new users created on the switch will inherit the privileges or the end-user profile of the default user
unless the user is configured with specific privileges or a profile.
The default user settings can be modified. Enter the user command with default as the user name. The
default user can only store default functional privileges or a default end-user profile. The default user
cannot be configured with both privileges and a profile.
The following example modifies the default user account with read-write access to all CLI commands:
-> user default read-write all
In this example, any new user that is created will have read and write access to all CLI commands (unless
a specific privilege or SNMP access is configured for the new user). For more information about configur-
ing privileges, see “Setting Up End-User Profiles” on page 9-32.
The privilege default is particularly important for users who are authenticated via an ACE/Server, which
only supplies username and password information; or for users who are authenticated via a RADIUS or
LDAP server on which privileges are not configured. For more information about these servers, see the
“Managing Authentication Servers” chapter of the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Network Configuration Guide.
