Changing The Admin Password; Completing Quick Configuration - Cisco CVPN3015-NR - VPN Concentrator 3015 Getting Started

Chapter 4 Using the Command-Line Interface for Quick Configuration

Changing the Admin Password

You can change the password for the admin user. For ease of use during startup, the default admin
password supplied with the VPN Concentrator is also admin. Since the admin user has full access to all
management and administration functions on the device, we strongly recommend you change this
password to improve device security. You can further configure all administrators with the regular
Administration menus.
The system prompts you to change the admin password.
Step 1
-- : We strongly recommend that you change the password ...
> Reset Admin Password
Quick -> [ ***** ] _
At the cursor, enter a new password for admin. Remember that entries are case sensitive. For maximum
security, the password should be at least 8 characters long, a mixture of upper- and lower-case alphabetic
and numeric characters, and not easily guessed; for example, W8j9Haq3. The system displays only
asterisks. To keep the default, press Enter.
The system prompts you to re-enter the password to verify it.
Step 2
Verify -> _
At the cursor, reenter the new password. The system displays only asterisks. To keep the default, press
Enter.
Make subsequent changes to the admin password using the VPN Concentrator Manager, on the
Administration | Access Rights | Administrators | Modify Properties screen.

Completing Quick Configuration

You have finished quick configuration, and your entries constitute the active or running configuration.
The VPN Concentrator now has enough information, and it is operational. For example, a configured
remote user with a PC and modem can use Microsoft PPTP and a local ISP to connect securely—in a
VPN tunnel through the Internet—with resources on a private, internal corporate network.
We strongly recommend that you save the active configuration before you exit. Should you need to restart
the VPN Concentrator, it will then boot with your configured parameters.
