Matrix DFE-Series Module Installation Guide 3-31
After installing all DFE-Platinum modules into the host chassis and making the
connections to the network, proceed to the following First-Time Log-In Using a Console
Port Connection procedure to access the module management startup screen from your
PC, terminal, or modem connection.
First-Time Log-In Using a Console Port Connection
Start the Command Line Interface (CLI) from the module’s local console port as follows:
1. Connect a terminal to the local console port as described in “Connecting to COM Port
for Local Management” on page 3-23. The startup screen, Figure 3-18, displays.
2. At the login prompt, enter one of the following default user names:
– ro for Read-Only access,
– rw for Read-Write access, or
– admin for Super User access. (This access level allows Read-Write access to all
modifiable parameters, including user accounts.)
3. Press ENTER.
4. The Password prompt displays. Leave this string blank and press ENTER. The
module information and Matrix prompt displays as shown in Figure 3-18.
The DFE-Platinum module is now ready to be configured. For information about setting
the IP address and configuring Telnet settings for remote access to DFE-Platinum
management, refer to Chapter 3 in the Matrix DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide. The
CLI commands enable you to initially set up and perform more involved management
configurations.

If you require assistance, contact Enterasys Networks using one of the methods described
in “Getting Help” on page 1-6.
Note: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet
configured with administratively-supplied user and password settings.
By default, the Matrix DFE-Platinum Series device is configured with three user login
accounts: ro for Read-Only access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user
access to all modifiable parameters. The default password is set to blank (carriage return).
For information on changing these default passwords, refer to Chapter 3 in the
