Page 16: Terminal Connection
An Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed straight-through or null modem RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port on the switch. The other end of the cable must use a connector appropriate to the serial port on your computer or terminal. Most computers or terminals use a male DB-25 connector.
Page 17 The port does not turn on and turn off control lines to indicate the input buffer is full. To connect a modem to a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, you can configure the modem port first using another type of connection to the command line interface (CLI) or Nortel Command Line Interface (NNCLI).
Page 18 Figure 1 PPP configuration topology When you configure the modem port on the switch to use PPP, you must also specify a PPP file. The PPP file is a text document which includes all additional PPP configuration parameters to include when the switch reboots.
Page 19: System Logon
* long 47.133.223.200 william * william 47.133.223.200 System logon After the switch boot sequence is complete, a Login prompt appears. The following table shows the default values for logon and password for the console and Telnet sessions. Table 2...
Page 20: Hsecure Mode
Default passwords and community strings If the switch boots in hsecure mode as a default factory setting, and you have not configured a password, the default passwords are changed to respect this rule. The following table describes the default passwords.
Page 21: Setup Utility
The setup utility monitors system requirements and obtains the highest system performance. Use the setup utility to configure your switch by responding to a series of on-screen questions. The setup utility saves the information in the boot and run-time configuration files.
Page 22 22 Commissioning fundamentals the switch reboots in the desired operating mode. The setup utility also provides error and warning messages to advise you of the ramifications of certain hardware and software configurations. For information about the supported operating modes, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Administration, NN46205-605.

Page 26: Password Encryption
If you load a configuration file saved prior to Release 3.7.6, saved passwords from the configuration file are not recognized. If you boot the switch for the first time with the software Release 3.7.6 or higher image, the switch resets the password to default values and generates a log, which indicates the changes.
