Appendix B Using the Offline Diagnostic Monitor Menu
Caution
Use care when password protecting the Offline DM Main menu and ensure you
take adequate steps to record the password. If you lose the new password, it
cannot be recovered and you cannot access the Offline DM Main menu. At that
point, the only solution would be to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center
(TAC). Refer to the
“Obtaining Technical Assistance”
section in the
Preface
.

Changing the Administrative Username and Password
During the initial log in to the CSS, you enter the default user name
admin
and
the default password
system
as lowercase text. For security reasons, you should
change the administrative username and password through the Security Options
menu. Security on your CSS can be compromised because the administrative
username and password are configured in the same way for every CSS.
Note
You may also use the
username-offdm
CLI command to change the default
administrative username and password (refer to the
Cisco Content Services Switch
Getting Started Guide
).
