management, you must first assign an IP address to the device. Use one of the following three
methods to configure the management IP address after logging on:
• If the switch is in factory default mode, the install script runs automatically. You are
prompted to enter the IP configuration details.
• If the switch is connected to a network, the switch obtains an IP address through bootp
or DHCP.
• Run the installation script manually from Privileged EXEC mode. Use the install
command.
Refer to chapter 4: Connecting to the switch for details on connecting a terminal to the console
port on the ERS 4000 Series switch.

Password encryption

The local passwords of the switch are stored in the configuration file, encrypted with an Avaya
proprietary algorithm.
Important:
For security reasons, Avaya recommends that you configure the passwords to values other
than the factory defaults.

Enterprise Device Manager

Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4000 includes Enterprise Device Manager (EDM), an
embedded graphical user interface (GUI) that you can use to manage and monitor the platform
through a standard Web browser. EDM is embedded into Ethernet Routing Switch software,
and the switch operates as a Web server, so you do not require an additional client software.
For more information about EDM, see Using ACLI and EDM on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch
4000 Series, NN47205-102.
If you want to manage the switch from a centralized location, using Configuration and
Orchestration Manager (COM) 2.0 and higher, Avaya offers optional, product-specific EDM
plug-ins for COM that include other features such as centralized syslog, trap viewer,
