NOTE:

Default passwords may pose a security risk and should be 

changed as soon as possible. This is especially true of the privi-

leged password.

4.3 Protocol Configuration

Certain options can be configured for each of the protocols supported by 

the MSS. For more information on protocol configuration, refer to the 

version of this chapter provided on CD-ROM.

4.3.1 TCP/IP Parameters

•

Subnet Mask

: This mask allows the server to decide at connection 

time whether a given TCP/IP host is part of the local network seg-

ment so that packets can be routed properly. A default subnet mask 

is created automatically when the MSS’s IP address is configured, 

but it can be overridden.

Ex:

CHANGE SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0

Local>> CHANGE PRIVPASS “walrus”

Local>> CHANGE LOGINPASS “badger”
