The following is the complete
IP-DSU
command set. Except where noted, commands
are visible only when the user is logged in to the console interface.
4.1 Login
Syntax #1: login passwd=<password>
(default password is: initial)
Syntax #2: login
This command is a security command required for accessing the bulk of the command
set. It is only available when the user is logged off. The command has two forms, and
three modes of operation.
The first syntax example provides legacy compatibility for operations systems that use
that form. The password must contain between one and seven alphanumeric characters.
The typed password is case sensitive.
In the second example, the password is not provided on the command line. The login
command will then prompt for a password. A password given at the prompt will not be
echoed. There is a timeout of approximately 30 seconds on the password prompt.
If one or more
RADIUS Servers are defined, the
second
form is used to log
into the device. When used, a connection is made to the first available server. Prompts
for “Username” and “Password” are requested. These Usernames and Passwords are
administered on the
RADIUS server; and not on the device.
4.2 Logout
Syntax: logout
The
logout
command returns the
IP-DSU
to its logged-out mode, thus preventing
unauthorized access.
4.3 Change
Password
Syntax: chgpass old=<password> new=<password> confirm=<password>
The
chgpass
command allows the user to change a previously-configured password.
The old password is the one currently in effect. The new and confirm passwords should
be identical. The password must contain between one and seven alphanumeric
characters. The typed password is case insensitive. All arguments are required to
complete the command.
