Logging into the NAM
Initial configuration or reconfiguration of network settings may require access to the console.
Depending on your platform, you may access the console differently.
For NAM appliances, access the console using a physical keyboard and monitor or by hooking
up a cable to the serial port on NAM 2200 appliances or CIMC management port on NAM 2300
appliances.
For NAM-3 on Cat6K and NAM-NX1 on Nexus 7K, access the console connection using switch
CLI
For NAM on SM-SRE and NME-NAM, access a console connection using the router cli.
For NAM on Nexus or NAM on WAAS installations, access a console through the host appliance
cli.
The example given below gives instructions on how to access the NAM console on the NAM-1,
NAM-2, or NAM-3 platform. For more details, see the installation guide for each platform.
There are two levels of access on the Network Analysis Module, each with different privileges:
Guest—Read-only access (default password is guest). This account has been removed since
NAM 6.0(1) due to security requirements.
Root—Full read-write access (default password is root)
Note The root account uses the # prompt; the guest account uses the > prompt.
