Usage Guidelines

ExtremeWare XOS 11.2 introduces the concept of safe defaults mode. Safe defaults mode runs an
interactive script that allows you to enable or disable SNMP, Telnet, and switch ports. When you set up
your switch for the first time, you must connect to the console port to access the switch. After logging
in to the switch, you enter safe defaults mode. Although SNMP, Telnet, and switch ports are enabled by
default, the script prompts you to confirm those settings.
If you choose to keep the default setting for Telnet—the default setting is enabled—the switch returns
the following interactive script:
Since you have chosen less secure management methods, please remember to increase
the security of your network by taking the following actions:
* change your admin password
* change your SNMP public and private strings
* consider using SNMPv3 to secure network management traffic
In addition, you can return to safe defaults mode by issuing the following commands:
●
unconfigure switch
●
configure safe-default-script
If you return to safe defaults mode, you must answer the questions presented during the interactive
script.
For more detailed information about safe defaults mode, see
in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.
Example
With administrator privilege, the following command enables Telnet services on the switch:
