Completing the Installation of a DFE-Platinum Module in an
Existing System
In an established DFE module system,
• a DFE module is already established as the management module,
• the passwords have already been set for various users,
• the system IP address is set, and
• other system parameters have been set.
When you install a new DFE module into a system with an existing configured user account, the
current system settings in that account are already recognized by the new DFE module and it will
operate accordingly.
If you need to change any settings, you can connect a terminal to the local console port as
described in "Connecting to COM Port for Local Management" on page 3‐12 to access system
management, or use a Telnet connection to access the DFE module system management as
described in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide.
Logging in with an Administratively-Configured User Account
If the device's default user account settings have been changed, proceed as follows:
1. At the login prompt, enter your administratively‐assigned user name and press Enter.
2. At the Password prompt, enter your password and press Enter.
The notice of authorization and the Matrix prompt displays as shown back in Figure
The DFE module is now ready to be configured. For information about setting the IP address and
configuring Telnet settings for remote access to DFE management, refer to Chapter 3 in the
Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you to
initially set up and perform more involved management configurations.

login command to create and change user accounts, and the set password command to change
any local account password. For information on the set password and set system login commands,
