Logging in through the console port locally

You can connect a terminal to the console port of the device to log in and manage the device, as shown
in Figure 8. For the login procedure, see
Figure 8 Logging in through the console port
By default, console login is enabled and does not require authentication. To improve device security,
configure the password or scheme authentication mode and assign user roles immediately after you log
in to the device for the first time.

the user line. A setting in user line class view
is applied to all user lines of the class.
A non-default setting in either view takes
precedence over a default setting in the

view takes precedence over a non-default

immediately and affects the online user. A
