CLI Passwords

The switch ships with default passwords assigned for access to Command Line Interface (CLI) through a console or management session. If you have read/write/all access authority, and you are using SNMPv3, you can change passwords that are in an encrypted format. If you are using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM), you can also specify the number of available Telnet sessions and rlogin sessions.

Note

Note

Rlogin is only supported on VSP 8600 Series.

The default passwords are documented and well known. Change the default passwords and community strings immediately after you first log on.

If you enable enhanced secure mode with the boot config flags enhancedsecure-mode command, you enable different access levels, along with stronger password complexity, length, and minimum change intervals. For more information on system access fundamentals and configuration, see System Access.
