moved to the selected ports.
Changing the AOS Passwords
Allot provides end-users with CLI access to the system via a user privilege called
“
sysadmin
”. The sysadmin user can access all of the CLI commands outlined in
Chapter 6 below. The default password for the sysadmin user is
sysadmin
.
In addition, each Service Gateway has an “
admin
” password, which is used to
enable secure communication between the NetXplorer and the SG-9500. Whenever
a NetXplorer Operator wishes to add a new In-line Platform to the NetXplorer the
admin password of that In-line Platform must be entered. In addition, no policy
changes can be saved without the correct admin password. The default admin
password is
allot
.
NOTE Allot STRONGLY recommends that the default passwords are changed to
ensure a minimum level of security.
To change the sysadmin password:
1.
Log into the SG-9500 via the iLO Remote Console.
2.
Enter
sysadmin
for the login and the sysadmin password (default is
sysadmin
), and then press
<Enter>
.
3.
Enter
passwd
and then press
<Enter>
.
4.
Enter a new password and press
<Enter>.
The password must be between
5 and 8 characters. You can use a combination of upper and lower case
letters and numbers.
5.
Re-enter the new password and press
<Enter>
.
TIP
You can further protect access to the Service Gateway by limiting the hosts
that are allowed to manage the unit. For more information see the NetXplorer
Operation Guide.
To change the admin password:

and then press

to run the script to
