I've got 3 2950s on the network and 1 3550. I manage them through the web interface whenever possible because I don't readily know the telnet console commands; they were clustered at one time with the 3550 as the command switch but now I have two clusters, one commanded by the 3550 and one by the 2950.
SO, on to the problem. I can change the 2950 passwords via the web interface, which can control the http, enable, local, and terminal passwords, but the 3550 doesn't have the password option under the admin tab. Is there a way to change all the passwords via the web interface, or do I need to telnet? If telnet, I've found how to change the enable password, but not the others.
Also, if I change the passwords for the command switch, will it also change the passwords for the other switches in the cluster?

Thanks
 
To change telnet password . You should change the console password also .

Telnet password
conf t
line vty 0 4
password XXXXXXX


Console port password
conf t
lin con 0
password XXXXXX


end
