Configuring Passwords
Configuring passwords consists of setting the Monitor mode and Administrator mode passwords for
access to the 10/100 Ethernet management interface (used for the CLI via Telnet or SSH, and the
web-based GUI via HTTP). You can also enable these passwords to restrict access to the EIA/TIA-232
console interface. The factory default password for both Monitor and Administrator modes is cisco.
In a cluster environment, passwords are cluster-wide configuration elements and apply to all storage
routers in a cluster. All password management functions are handled by a single storage router. If you
issue try to set the Administrator or Monitor mode passwords from a storage router that is not performing
password management functions, the CLI displays an informational message with the name of the
storage router that is currently handling those functions.
Use the following procedure to configure passwords
