Changing the admin User Password
It is recommended to change the default password of the admin account from admin to
something else as soon as possible after initial startup. User passwords can be any combination
of characters and cannot be greater than 256 characters in length. It is recommended to use only
printable characters.
To change the password to, for example, my-password the following CLI commands are used.
First we must change the current category to be the LocalUserDatabase called AdminUsers (which
exists by default):
Device:/> cc LocalUserDatabase AdminUsers
We are now in AdminUsers and can change the password of the admin user:
Device:/AdminUsers> set User admin Password="my-password"
Finally, we return the current category to the top level:
Device:/AdminUsers> cc
Note: The console password is separate
The password that can be set to protect direct serial console access is a separate
password and should not be confused with the passwords related to user accounts. The
console password is described in Section 2.1.7, “The Console Boot Menu”.
Changing the CLI Prompt
The default CLI prompt is:
Device:/>
This can be customized, for example, to my-prompt:/>, by using the CLI command:
Device:/> set device name="my-prompt"
The CLI Reference Guide uses the command prompt Device:/> throughout.
Tip: The CLI prompt is the Web Interface device name
When the command line prompt is changed to a new string value, this string also
appears as the new device name in the top level node of the Web Interface navigation
tree.
Activating and Committing Changes
If any changes are made to the current configuration through the CLI, those changes will not be
uploaded to cOS Core until the command:
Device:/> activate
is issued. Immediately following the activate command, the command:
