Note - The administrator of the switch has the username of root.
Identify the prerequisite and subsequent installation tasks that you must perform in conjunction with this procedure.
If you have not already done so, configure the DHCP server with the MAC address and new host name of the management controller inside of your switch.
The MAC address is printed on the customer information (yellow) sheet on the outside of the switch shipping carton and on the pull-out tab on the left side front of the switch chassis, adjacent to power supply 0.
Open a SSH session and connect to the management controller by specifying the controller’s host name as configured with the DHCP server.
For example:
% ssh -l root nm2name root@nm2name’s password: password #
where nm2name is the host name of the management controller. The name might be the word hostname. Initially, the password is changeme.
Note - You can change the password at a later time. See Change the Administrator Password for instructions on how to change the administrator password.
Verify the switch status.
