  • 1.  How to change Manager and/or Operator password on 2930M Switches

    Posted Jul 12, 2020 11:03 PM

    Hello. I'm trying to change the Manager/Operator password on a couple of Aruba 2930M Switches but not able to.

    e.g.

     

    SWITCH(config)# password operator user-name username test

    Invalid input: password

    SWITCH(config)#

     

    I have even tried to use context help but no go...

     

    SWITCH(config)# pass?

    Invalid input: pass

    SWITCH(config)# pass

     

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Can you verify that you have manager access? The command show session-list would show you the access level.

    Could it be that you have command authorization enabled and blocking the password command from your TACACS server?

    What software version are you running?

     

    The same command works fine for me on my 2930F (version 16.10.0009):

    sw01(config)# password operator user-name test
New password for operator:  ********
Re-enter the new password for operator:  ********
