secTempPasswdSet

Sets a temporary password on a remote switch.

Synopsis sectemppasswdset domain, "login_name"

Description Use this command to set a unique temporary password for a given account on a specific switch in the

fabric. Use the secTempPasswdReset command to remove the temporary password or reboot the switch.

You can change any password on any switch. To change the password of an account that has higher level

than that of the current user logged in to the primary FCS switch, you must enter the password of the

same level account on the primary FCS switch.

The password setup on the target is not persistent and will be reset to the secure fabric-wide setting when

this target switch is rebooted or when secTempPasswdReset is run on primary FCS switch.

Each switch has four accounts: root, factory, admin, and user. Root and factory accounts are disabled for

non-FCS switches. This command can enable the root or factory account on a non-FCS switch when you

specify a password for those accounts.

The password should between 8 and 40 characters.

ote

This command can be issued only when secure mode is enabled, and only from the primary FCS switch.

Operands This command has the following operands:

domain Specify the domain of a switch for which you want to change the password. This
