Setting passwords
Before setting the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point security parameters, verify an
administrative password for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point has been created to
restrict access to the device before advanced device security is configured.
To password protect and restrict Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point device access:
1. Connect a wired computer to the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point LAN port using a
standard CAT-5 cable.
2. Set up the computer for TCP/IP DHCP network addressing and make sure the DNS settings are
not hardcoded.
3. Start Internet Explorer (with Sun Micro Systems’ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or higher
installed) and type in the default IP address in the address field.
To connect to the access point, the IP address is required. If connected to the access point
using the WAN port, the default static IP address is 10.1.1.1. The default password is
“admin123.” If connected to the access point using the LAN port, the default setting is DHCP
client. The user is required to know the IP address to connect to the access point using a Web
browser.
The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point Login screen displays.
NOTE
For optimum compatibility use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.5 or higher (available from Sun’s Web
site), and be sure to disable Microsoft’s Java Virtual Machine if it is installed.
NOTE
DNS names are not supported as a valid IP address for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point. The user is required to enter a numerical IP address.
4. Log in using the “admin” as the default Username and “admin123” as the default Password.
