The following guidelines exist when changing a password:
You must be logged on as root with Network Manager privilege.
You must define the Network Manager password before you define
the User password.
You must clear the User password before you clear the Network
Manager password.
To change the password for both privilege levels, enter:
SysPassWord
A menu is displayed.
Follow the menu to set the Network Manager password and then the
User password.
CAUTION: You should set both the Network Manager and the User
password. If the User password is not set, any unauthorized user can
logon with User level privilege.
To attach a terminal with a baud rate other than 9600, follow
these steps:
1 At the Network Manager prompt (Enterprise OS #), enter:
SysconF
The System Configuration menu is displayed.
2 Select the Console Port option.
A submenu displays the console port baud rate options.
3 Select the baud rate you want to use.
4 Set the terminal baud rate to match the baud rate configured for the
console port.
CAUTION: Do not reset the switch before changing the terminal baud
rate. After the switch resets, the new baud rate is used and you will not
be able to access the system software to enter any commands at the
default 9600 baud rate.
5 After you change the terminal baud rate, reset the switch.
The new console port baud rate does not become effective until you have
reset the switch.
