Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
Changing Administrative Password
Step 3 Restart the IPM server by entering ipm restart at the command line.
If you have set IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR to 0, the router will select the source interface
from the routing table based on the IP address of the destination. This is the default mode.
If you have set IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR to 1, the source interface address will be the
same as the Managed Interface address in all the configurations. In other words, the router will select
whatever source IP address you have specified while adding the source.
In addition, you can also specify a source interface while configuring a collector. In this case, the router
uses the specified interface, and overrides the values you have set in
IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR.
Changing Administrative Password
You can change the IPM Administrative password using this command at IPM command prompt:
ipm password
IPM prompts you to change the Administrative password and to enter the new password. You need to
enter the new password and confirm it by entering it again.
The password is case sensitive and should begin with an alphabet. You can enter only a maximum of 15
characters and you can enter only alphanumeric characters.
Changing IPM Database Password
You can change the IPM database password using this command at IPM command prompt:
ipm dbpassword
The password is case sensitive and should begin with an alphabet. You can enter only a maximum of 15
characters and you can enter only alphanumeric characters.
For fresh IPM installations, it is mandatory that you enter a database password.
After you have restored the IPM database, the new database password would be the one that was last set
on the server.
