Performing basic configuration tasks
Passwords can be from 8 to 40 characters long and must begin with an alphabetic character. They
can include numerals, the dot (.), and the underscore (_). They are case sensitive, and they are not
displayed when you enter them on the command line. You cannot reuse the default passwords.
NOTE:
Record the passwords exactly as entered and store them in a secure place; recovering
passwords requires significant effort and fabric downtime.
Example:
Setting the date and time
Switches maintain the current date and time in nonvolatile memory. Date and time are used for logging
events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time
value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for logging, you should set
them correctly.
NOTE:
The
date
and
tsclockserver
commands are disabled when the security feature is enabled.
With security enabled you can view the current date setting only on the primary FCS switch.
