passwd

The superuser passwd command changes the Remote Annex's
administrative password. The Remote Annex does not echo passwords.
Pressing the Return key after the prompts for the new password sets the
password back to its default. The syntax is:
passwd
The passwd command display looks like this:
annex# passwd
Current password:
New password:
Confirm new password:
If the Remote Annex is configured with an IP address, the default
administrative password is the IP address.
If the Remote Annex is not yet configured with an IP address and the
administrative password has not been modified (either via this
command or via the Remote Annex parameter password), the default
password is a null string ("") .
If the Remote Annex is not configured with an IP address and boots
via MOP, IPX, or from FLASH ROM, the default password is a null
string ("") and entering a carriage return at the Password prompt
places you in superuser mode.

ping

Use the superuser ping (packet internet groper) command to determine
whether a remote host, router, or Remote Annex can be reached and to
view statistics about packet loss and delivery time. The ping command
sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request
message to elicit an ICMP Echo Response from the specified host, router,
or Remote Annex. The command prints output for each response
returned. Table C-52 describes the arguments for ping.
