Enterasys Networks D-Series - Manual (Page 34)

Using the Command Line Interface
1-6 Introduction
Refer to the instructions included with the Telnet application for information about establishing a
Telnet session.
Logging In
By default, the D‐Series switch is configured with three user login accounts—ro for Read‐Only
access, rw for Read‐Write access, and admin for super‐user access to all modifiable parameters.
The default password is set to a blank string. For information on changing these default settings,
refer to “
Setting User Accounts and Passwords ” on page 3‐2.
Using a Default User Account
If this is the first time you are logging in to the D‐Series switch, or if the default user accounts have
not been administratively changed, proceed as follows:
1. At the login prompt, enter one of the following default user names:
– ro for Read‐Only access.
– rw for Read‐Write access.
– admin for Super User access.
2. Press ENTER. The Password prompt displays.
3. Leave this string blank and press ENTER. The switch information and prompt displays as
shown in
Figure 1‐1 .
Using an Administratively Configured User Account
If the switch’s default user account settings have been changed, proceed as follows:
1. At the login prompt, enter your administratively‐assigned user name and press ENTER.
2. At the Password prompt, enter your password and press ENTER.
The notice of authorization and the prompt displays as shown in Figure 1‐1 .
Navigating the Command Line Interface
Getting Help with CLI Syntax
The D‐Series switch allows you to display usage and syntax information for individual commands
by typing help or ? after the command.
CLI Command Defaults Descriptions
Each command description in this guide includes a section entitled “Defaults” which contains
different information from the factory default settings on the switch described in
Table 1‐1 . The
section defines CLI behavior if the user enters a command without typing optional parameters
(indicated by square brackets [ ]). For commands without optional parameters, the defaults
section lists “None”. For commands with optional parameters, this section describes how the CLI
responds if the user opts to enter only the keywords of the command syntax.
Figure 1‐2 provides
an example.
Note: Users with Read-Write (rw) and Read-Only access can use the set password command
(page 3-5) to change their own passwords. Administrators with Super User (su) access can use
the
set system login command (page 3-4) to create and change user accounts, and the set
password command to change any local account password.
