3.3.2 Serial Port Logins
Attach a terminal to one of the serial ports and press the Return key. The Local> prompt
should be displayed. Proceed to the Configuration chapter to configure the unit using the
command line interface.
If there was a problem during the boot process, pressing any key will display the Boot
prompt. This prompt enables you to enter a special set of commands, called Boot
Configuration Program (BCP) commands, which are discussed in Appendix B.
3.3.3 Remote Console Logins
You can configure the MSS via a Telnet connection to the remote console port, designated
as port 7000. Connections to the console port cannot be disabled. This ensures that
administrators will always be able to log into the port.
To connect to the remote console port, use the Telnet command followed by the MSS IP
address and the remote console port number (7000). You will have to enter the login
password. The default login password is access. For more information on the login
password, see Login Passwords on page 3-2.
After you issue the appropriate password, you will see a Username> prompt. Enter a
username to identify yourself as the current user.
Note:
This username is arbitrary and used only for convenience. It is not
associated with authentication.
