Getting Started with Spirent TestCenter
Procedure 10: Using the Authenticate Mode (optional)
Authenticate mode allows the user to set a password on the chassis or appliance,
permitting only authorized users to access the equipment. The Authenticate commands
can only be accessed when the user is directly connected to the chassis or appliance using
a USB keyboard and DVI video monitor. If SSH is used to access the chassis or appliance,
these commands will not be available.
When authenticate is “on” or “reset,” a password must be generated using simple ASCII
text, but it cannot be left blank. Once the password is generated, the Spirent TestCenter
GUI or API user will be required to enter the generated password when they attempt to
connect to the chassis or appliance.
Note:
This feature is available on the SPT-N12U, SPT-N11U, SPT-N4U, SPT-C1, SPT-
C50, SPT-C50-S2-RX, and the PX3/DX3-QSFP-DD-8 appliances.
