58 Configuring AAA for Administrative and Local Access
320657-A
Setting the WSS Switch Enable Password
There is one enable password for the entire WSS. You can optionally change the enable password from the default.
Setting the WSS Enable Password for the First Time
To set the enable password for the first time:
1 At the enabled prompt, type set enablepass.
2 At the “Enter old password” prompt, press Enter.
3 At the “Enter new password” prompt, enter an enable password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters with
no spaces. The password is not displayed as you type it.
4 Type the password again to confirm it.
WSS Software lets you know the password is set.
23x0# set enablepass
Enter old password:
Enter new password:
Retype new password:
Password changed
5 Store the configuration into nonvolatile memory by typing the following command:
23x0# save config
success: configuration saved.
WMS Enable Password
If you are using WMS, you must use the same enable password on WMS that you use on the WSS. After you install the
administrative certificate on the WSS and configure basic connectivity, you can configure the rest of your Nortel
network AAA settings in WMS.
Caution! Nortel recommends that you change the enable password from the default
(no password) to prevent unauthorized users from entering configuration commands.
Note. The enable password is case-sensitive.
Caution! Be sure to use a password that you will remember. If you lose the
enable password, the only way to restore it causes the system to return to its
default settings and wipes out any saved configuration. (For details, see
“Recovering the System Password” on page 574.)
