Your First Login Session
23
Unlocking Specified Session Types
You can also unlock session types on a one-by-one basis. For
example, to unlock Telnet sessions only, enter the following
command:
-> aaa authentication telnet local
To unlock WebView (HTTP) sessions only, enter the follow-
ing command:
-> aaa authentication http local
You cannot specify more than one session type in a single
command line. However, you can still unlock multiple session
types by using the
aaa authentication
command in succes-
sion. For example:
-> aaa authentication http local
-> aaa authentication telnet local
-> aaa authentication ftp local
Changing the Login Password
Change the login password for
admin
user sessions by follow-
ing the steps below:
1
Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user
type
admin
(see
“Logging In to the Switch” on page 20
).
2
Enter the keyword
password
and press
Enter
.
3
Enter your new password at the prompt (refer to the
note below).
Note.
Typically, the password should be a string of non-
repeating characters. The CLI uses the first occurrence of
the character series to uniquely identify the password. For
example, the password
engrengr
is the same as
engr
. A
better password might be
engr2735
.
4
You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter
the password a second time.
Note.
Be sure to remember or securely record all new
passwords; overriding configured passwords on OS9000
switches is restricted.
New password settings are automatically saved in real time to
the local user database; the user is not required to enter an
additional command in order to save the password informa-
tion. Also note that new password information is retained
following a reboot.
