Configuring the SCP Administrator Password

To configure the SCP Administrator (scpadmin) password

password may only be configured when connected directly to the console.
2. Enter the following commands:
Note: The factory default setting for the SCP administrator password is admin.
>> /cfg/sys/access/sshd/scpadm
Changing SCP-only Administrator password; validation required...
Enter current administrator password: <password>
Enter new SCP-only administrator password: <new password>
Re-enter new SCP-only administrator password: <new password>
New SCP-only administrator password accepted.

SCP Services

To perform SCP commands, you need the SCP admin password with administrator privileges (this
password must be different from the admin password).
The following SCP commands are supported in this service. These commands are entered using the
CLI on the client that is running the SCP application:
• getcfg—Used to download the configuration to the remote host via SCP.
• putcfg—Used to upload the configuration from a remote host to Alteon. The diff command is
executed at the end of putcfg to notify the remote client of the difference between the new and
the current configurations.
• putcfg_apply—Runs the apply command after the putcfg is done.
• putcfg_apply_save—Saves the new configuration to the flash after putcfg_apply is done.
Note: The putcfg_apply and putcfg_apply_save commands are provided because additional
apply and save commands are usually required after a putcfg, and an SCP session is not run in an
interactive mode.
