Adding a User

To add a user, follows these steps:

  1. From Fabric Manager, select Security->SNMP from the Physical pane menu and click the Users tab in the Information pane.

    From Device Manager, choose Security from the SNMP menu and click the Users tab.

  2. Click Create on the Device Manager dialog box, or click the Create Row button on the Fabric Manager toolbar.

    The Create Users dialog box is displayed.

    The dialog box from Fabric Manager also provides check boxes to specify one or more switches.

  3. Enter the user name in the New User field.
  4. Select the role from the drop-down list. In Fabric Manager, you can enter a new role name in the field if you do not want to select one from the drop-down list. If you do this, you must go back and configure this role appropriately (see Configuring Common Roles).
  5. Enter the password for the user twice in the New Password and Confirm Password fields.
  6. To enable encryption of management traffic, click the Privacy check box and complete the password fields.

    Enter the Authentication password in the Clone Password field to use the same password. Enter a new password twice in the New Password and Confirm Password fields.

  7. Click Create to create the new entry or click Close to create the entry and close the dialog box.
