Changing Host Keys
You can use the ssh server host-key generate command to change the default host keys
provided with the GigaVUE TA Series TA
Series node. The command has the following
syntax:
ssh server host-key <rsa1 | rsa2 |dsa2> <private-key | public-key> generate
For example, to configure a new RSAv1 public hostkey, you could use the following
command:
(config) # ssh server host-key rsa1 public-key generate
Initial User Account Configuration
Before you start mapping traffic, you must change the password for the admin account
and add a few other accounts for use by different level users. (You may have already
used the jump-start script to change the password for the admin account.)
Changing the admin Account Password
1. To change the password for the admin account using the username command,
refer to the following:
(config) # username admin password <password>
Passwords must meet the following standards:
• Include 8-30 characters.
• Include at least one numeral
• Include at least one capital letter
• Include at least one special character (for example, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, or * – ASCII
[0x21, 0x2F], [0x3A, 0x40], [0x5B, 0x5F], [0x7B,0x7E]).
Enter a new password that meets the standards and confirm the password.
Setting Up Some Basic Accounts
1. The TA
Series node has a local account database that can optionally integrate with
an LDAP, RADIUS, or server for authentication. Any account you want to
authenticate using an external AAA server must have a matching account name in
the local database.
Authentication, user levels, and roles are discussed in detail in the
GigaVUE-OS-CLI
Reference Guide. For now, however, it is easiest to simply create a few basic user
accounts with different privilege levels. In general, user privileges are as follows:
• Admin users have access to all command modes, including Standard, Enable,
and Configure. They also have full permissions for all network, tool, and stack
ports.
