Completing the Installation of a DFE Module in an Existing System

In an established DFE module system,
• a DFE module is already established as the management module,
• the passwords have already been set for various users,
• the system IP address is set, and
• other system parameters have been set.
When you install a new DFE module into a system with an existing configured user
account, the current system settings in that account are already recognized by the new
DFE module and it will operate accordingly.
If you need to change any settings, you can connect a terminal to the local console port as
described in "Connecting to COM Port for Local Management" on page 3‐18 to access
system management, or use a Telnet connection to access the DFE module system
management as described in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series
Configuration Guide.
Logging in with an Administratively-Configured User Account
If the device's default user account settings have been changed, proceed as follows:
1. At the login prompt, enter your administratively‐assigned user name and press
ENTER.
2. At the Password prompt, enter your password and press ENTER.
The notice of authorization and the Matrix prompt displays as shown back in Figure
The module is now ready to be configured. For information about setting the IP address
and configuring Telnet settings for remote access to DFE management, refer to Chapter 3
in the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. The CLI commands
enable you to initially set up and perform more involved management configurations.
