Verify Chassis Installation

The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if the system does not
consider it as a strong password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that it adheres
to the following guidelines:
• At least eight characters
• Minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as "abcd")
• Minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as "AAA")
• Does not contain recognizable words in the dictionary
• Does not contain proper names
• Contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
• Contains numbers and letters

When you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.
Step 4 Reenter the password.
When you enter the same password, the software accepts the password.
Step 5 Enter the configuration mode.
Step 6

interfaces.
Step 7
Enter a network mask for the management interface.
Step 8 Save your configuration.
