Make sure that the username and password are secure and easy to remember. Once set, access to the CLI and web interface will
be possible only when the password has been correctly entered.
IMPORTANT
For security reasons, Ruckus ICX switches do not provide any remote backdoor access or reset mechanisms for the CLI
or web passwords. For details on resetting a lost password, refer to the hardware installation guide of the ICX switch.
The password can be changed by repeating the username username password password command or through the web
interface under Configure > System > Management > User Account.
Cut and paste the following command set at the user EXEC prompt to apply the complete configuration outlined previously and
set a default username of super with a password of password.
enable
configure terminal
crypto-ssl certificate generate
username
super
password
password
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authentication web-server default local
no telnet server
enable aaa console
web-management https
password-change any
ip ssh timeout 30
ip ssh idle-time 20
console timeout 30
write memory
exit
TIP
In PuTTY, use the right button on the mouse to paste text at the console prompt.
Access to the web interface is now possible, and all access methods are protected by a username and password.
IMPORTANT
To ensure that your switches are secure from unauthorized access, always set a secure password. Never leave a switch
with the default username and password settings.
Adding a Static IP Address with the CLI
If you wish to add a static IP address to the switch before using the GUI, you can do so from the CLI using the following
commands.
device> enable
device# configure terminal
device(config)# ip address <IP address> <subnet mask>
device(config)# ip default-gateway <IP address>
device(config)# write memory
device(config)# exit
device#
NOTE
When setting the IP address, the IP address/mask syntax is also permitted; for example, 192.168.1.10/24.
NOTE
The commands listed previously are applicable to Ruckus ICX switches running Layer 2 switch code that is the factory
default for the Ruckus ICX 7150, Ruckus ICX 7250, Ruckus ICX 7450, and Ruckus ICX 7650.
