3com 4800G 48P Web Interface Access

[alex-Dsys]

Hi,

We bought some used 3com 4800G 48P switches and I'm trying to figure out how to access the web interface.

Setting up IP and routing worked as expected, I can also start the HTTP service and access the web interface. Unfortunately I can't set up a privileged user so all I can do from there is tracert and ping.

According to the manual, the commands to create a user are:
>local-user admin
>service-type telnet level 3
>password simple admin

In the second command, I get an error message:

[4800G-luser-admin]service-type telnet level 3
                                                   ^
% Too many parameters found at '^' position.

What am I doing wrong? I have also recognized that my prompt says [4800G] instead of [SW4800G] as described in the manual. Am I maybe using the wrong firmware?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello

I think level 2 doesnt belong in the same command with service-type. Please check this instruction, it is for 5120 but it should be still Comware 5.

# Create a local user named admin, and set the password to admin for the user. Specify the telnet service
type for the local user, and set the command level to 3 for this user.
[Sysname] local-user admin
[Sysname-luser-admin] service-type telnet
[Sysname-luser-admin] authorization-attribute level 3
[Sysname-luser-admin] password simple admin

Thank you - it works as expected now!

I was using this manual:

On page 68 the steps are described as in my original post.
