Password,
Timeout
To assign or change the password or timeout value, return to the
System
Administration
submenu and enter the letter
P
for the
Password, timeout
submenu:
Password.
Password protection restricts unauthorized access to Omega
management. By default, there is no password. If you choose to use password
protection, the management agent prompts for the password when each new
session begins.
You may enter a new password, up to 32 characters in length, or just press
<RETURN>
to keep the existing password if there is one. (The screen does not
display your password as you type it; a series of asterisks appears instead.)
To delete your current password, press the spacebar one or more times and
then press
<RETURN>
.
Timeout.
Your
switch
allows one management session at a time. If a timeout
value is entered, then the Omega session will end when there has been no
activity on the system for the length of time specified.
Timeout may be useful to avoid connection problems due to multiple sessions
(for example, you may start a local session and not exit the system before
attempting a Telnet session later). Note that timeout will also affect the
activity monitor.
