In-Band Management — If you are managing your network
in-band, you need to set up an IP routing interface and at least one
VLAN. See Chapter 9 for information about defining a VLAN, and
Chapter 11 for information about setting up an IP routing interface.
See “In-Band Management” for additional information about in-band
management.
■
Out-of-Band Management — If you are managing your system out
of band, you need to assign an IP address and subnet mask for the
out-of-band Ethernet port on your system through the
management
menu. The out-of-band Ethernet port is the 10BASE-T port on the
system processor module and is not associated with a port number.
See Chapter 11 for background information on IP addresses and
subnet masks. See “Out-of-Band Management” for additional
information about out-of-band management.
Administration
Console Access
The first time that you access the Administration Console, access the
system at the
administer level and press the Return key at the password
prompt. The initial password is null. Subsequent access is described next.
Password Levels The Administration Console supports three password levels, allowing the
network administrator to provide different levels of access for a range of
users, as described in Table 4.
Table 4 Password Access Levels
Passwords are stored in nonvolatile (NV) memory. You must enter the
password correctly before you can continue.
