Remember to enter yes or y when the CLI asks you whether you want to overwrite the
Startup configuration.
Setting Up Passwords
You can password protect CLI access to the SSR 2100 by setting up passwords for login
access and Enable access. Users who have a login password but not an Enable password
can use only the commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable password can
use the commands available in Enable and Configure modes as well as the commands in
User mode.
In addition, you can set up the SSR 2100 for TACACS and/or RADIUS authentication on
login and password by a TACACS or RADIUS server. You can find a section describing
configuration of the SSR 2100 for TACACS and RADIUS in the SmartSwitch Router User
Reference Manual.
Note:
If a password is configured for Enable mode, the SSR 2100 prompts you for the
password when you enter the enable command. Otherwise, the SSR 2100
displays a message advising you to configure an Enable password before entering
Enable mode. From Enable mode, you can access Configure mode to make
configuration changes.
The default password for each access level is blank. (Simply press Enter or Return without
entering a password.) If you want to add password protection to the CLI, use the
following procedure.
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3. Use the following command for each password you want to set:
4. Enter the show command to examine the changes accumulated in the scratchpad.
5. Enter the save active command to activate the commands.
6. Enter the system show active-config command to verify the active changes.
