Only the system prompt (->) will appear.
♦ Important Notes ♦
The
admin, diag and user accounts
use switch as the default password.
For security purposes, the default
password should be changed for
these accounts.
To create an all-numeric password (for
example,
7654321), you must enter
double quotation marks before and
after the password 7654321.
All new passwords take effect at your next login
session.
♦ Caution ♦
Your password is stored (encrypted)
in the
mpm.cnf configuration file. If
you remove this file and reboot the
switch, your login password (as well
as all user-configured data) will auto-
matically reset to the factory default. In
this event, you must start over from
Step a (see column at left) to change
the password.
