Completing The Installation Of A New System - Enterasys Matrix 7GR4202-30 Hardware Installation Manual

Completing the Installation of a New System

In a new system of DFE modules, one of the installed DFE modules will become the management
module on chassis power up, and all DFE modules will automatically be set to the factory default
values. A complete list of the factory default values are provided in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys
Matrix DFE‐Diamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide.
After installing all DFE modules into the host chassis and making the connections to the network,
proceed to the following First‐Time Log‐In Using a Console Port Connection procedure to access
the module management startup screen from your PC, terminal, or modem connection.
First-Time Log-In Using a Console Port Connection
Note: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet configured
with administratively-supplied user and password settings.
By default, the Matrix DFE Series device is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-
Only access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user access to all modifiable
parameters. The default password is set to blank (carriage return). For information on changing
these default passwords, refer to Chapter 3 in the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Diamond/Platinum Series
Configuration Guide
Start the Command Line Interface (CLI) from the module's local console port as follows:
1. Connect a terminal to the local console port as described in "Connecting to COM Port for
Local Management" on page
2. At the login prompt, enter one of the following default user names:
– ro for Read‐Only access,
– rw for Read‐Write access, or
– admin for Super User access. (This access level allows Read‐Write access to all modifiable
parameters, including user accounts.)
3. Press ENTER.
4. The Password prompt displays. Leave this string blank and press ENTER. The module
information and Matrix prompt displays as shown 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‐Diamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you
to initially set up and perform more involved management configurations.
