By default, each FortiSwitch has an admin account without a password. To replace the admin passwords for all FortiSwitch units managed by a FortiGate, use the following commands from the FortiGate CLI:
config switch-controller switch-profile
edit default
set login-passwd-override enable
set login-passwd <password>
next
end
If there was already a profile applied with the override enabled and the password set and if it is necessary to remove the admin password, apply a profile with the override enabled and no password set; otherwise, the previously set password will remain in the FortiSwitch.
For example:
config switch-controller switch-profile
edit default
set login-passwd-override enable
unset login-passwd
next
end
If it is necessary to change the password for only one switch, avoid using the default profile: by default, it applies to all of the switches in the configuration. Verify which profile is applied to which switch by using the following commands:
config switch-controller managed-switch
edit "S248EFTFxxxxxxxx"
get | grep profile
Configure a switch profile and apply it for that one switch as follows:
config switch-controller switch-profile
edit "New-profile"
set login-passwd-override enable
set login-passwd <password>
next
end
config switch-controller managed-switch
edit "S248EFTFxxxxxxxx"
set switch-profile "New-profile"
next
end
