Getting Started With Switch Configuration
Setting Up Passwords
4. From Boot mode, enter the following commands:
PMON> set STARTUP_MODE skip_config
PMON> boot
The configuration process will then skip the startup configuration and
the switch will boot up with the factory default settings.
5. At the reboot, enter a new password.
6. To make the changes permanent, save the new password setting to the
startup configuration using the write memory command.
N o t e
If you have removed a backup management module, insert it back into its
slot before entering
write memory
—this will synchronize both active and
backup startup configurations to use the new password.
The next time you reboot the system, you will be able to use the new
password for access and authentication.
Enabling Secure Shell (SSH) Access
To enable an ssh connection to the switch:
1. From configuration mode, enter the following commands:
Switch 8100fl(config)#ip ssh
Switch 8100fl(config-ssh)#no shutdown
2. To save your changes to the startup configuration file use the
write memory
command.
