Chapter 1: Starting a Management Session

Changing the
Manager
Password
The default password for the predefined manager account is included in
this document, which is available on our web site. To protect the unit from
unauthorized access, you should change the password as part of the
initial configuration. To change the password, enter this command:
user set username=manager password
You are prompted to change the password. A password can be up to 16
alphanumeric characters and is case sensitive. Special characters,
including spaces, question marks, and quotation marks, are permitted.
You are prompted twice to verify the new password.
For information on how to create additional manager accounts, refer to
Chapter 13, “Manager Account Commands” on page 215.
Creating a
Master
Configuration
File
This step creates a master configuration file for storing your parameter
changes, in the file system on the management module. Without the file,
the management card cannot save your parameter settings and you’ll
have to reenter them if you reset or power cycle the chassis.
This task has two steps. In the first step you create the file with the
CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM command. The format of the command is:
config save filesystem=system:// chassis / slot / filename .cfg
The chassis variable is the ID number of the chassis. A chassis with a
management module installed has a chassis ID of 0 or 31. This value is
set with a jumper on the circuit board of the module. The chassis ID of a
chassis with a stacking module is 1 through 30. The value is also set
manually on the stacking module.To view this number, use the SYSTEM
SHOW CLUSTER command.
The slot variable specifies the chassis slot that has the management
module, signified by the letter “m.”
And, finally, filename.cfg is the filename for the new master configuration
file. The name can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters, not including the
extension. Spaces are allowed, but a name with spaces must be enclosed
in double quotes.
This example of the command creates the new master configuration file
“mcf_chassis0.cfg”. The chassis with the management module has the ID
number 0:
config save filesystem=system://0/m/mcf_chassis0.cfg
For further information on this command, refer to “CONFIG SAVE
FILESYSTEM” on page 162.
