configuration file. As shown in the example above, the passwords are shown in the active
configuration in an encrypted format and will also appear this way in the Startup
configuration.
To keep your passwords secure, the XP does not have a command for displaying
passwords. If you forget a password, you can remove the password by entering the
following command while in Configure mode. (See the Enterasys Xpedition Command Line
Interface Reference Manual for more information.)

Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address
If you want the XP to be able to access a DNS server, use the following procedure to
specify the domain name and IP address for the DNS server.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3.
If you have not done so already, use the interface add ip command to set the IP
address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface. The en0 Ethernet interface is used
by the management port on the control module.
Here is an example:
ssr(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 16.50.11.22/16
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
Note:
management port on the control module.
4.
Use the ping command to verify that the XP can reach the DNS server by pinging the
server:
Here is an example:
ssr# ping 16.50.11.12
PING 16.50.11.12 (16.50.11.12): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 16.50.11.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms
--- 16.50.11.12 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
