passwd

The superuser passwd command changes the Model 5390 administrative password. The Model 5390

server does not echo passwords. You can press the Return key to revert to the default password and

return to the superuser prompt (by default, annex#) when the Current password, New password, or

Conﬁrm new password prompt is displayed. The syntax is:

The passwd command display looks like this:

annex# passwd

Current password:

New password:

Confirm new password:

Use the superuser ping (packet internet groper) command to determine whether a remote host, router,

or Model 5390 server 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 Model 5390 server. The command prints

output for each response returned. Table C3-15 describes the arguments for ping.

NOTE: If the Model 5390 server is conﬁgured with an IP address, the

default administrative password is the IP address. If the Model 5390

server is not yet conﬁgured with an IP address and the administrative

password has not been modiﬁed (either via this command or via the

Model 5390 parameter password), the default password is a null string

("") . If the Model 5390 server 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 any one of the pass-

word prompts returns you to the superuser prompt (by default, annex#).
