Initial Access
The
Login:
prompt is displayed.
As the initial user, enter the default user name
admin
and press
Return at the
Password:
prompt. The first time you access the
command line interface using the Admin level, there is no password.
CAUTION: Your system is open to anyone until you set a password
for the Admin level. Use the
system password
command to set a
password immediately you gain access.
We recommend that when you have accessed the unit, you change
the default passwords for the other user levels (if you have not
already done so) by logging in as the different user levels.
Logging On
At subsequent logins, enter your user name and then your password
(at the
Password:
prompt). You must enter your user name and
password correctly before you can continue with your management
session.
If you have logged on correctly, the initial menu appears. If you have
not logged on correctly, the message
Incorrect password
appears and the login sequence starts again.
Default User Names and Passwords
Table 4
shows the default users that can access the unit and their
level of access. We recommend that setting a password is the first
task you carry out on the unit. Setting a password prevents
unauthorized management access to the unit or stack.
