Connecting Network Devices and

Checking Connectivity

This chapter provides the details for connecting network devices.

WARNING: The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.

Table 4.1 lists the tasks you must perform to connect your Foundry device, and shows where to get troubleshooting information for any problems that can arise.

Assigning Permanent Passwords

By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Foundry strongly recommends assigning passwords. See the Foundry Security Guide.

NOTE: You cannot assign a password using the Web management interface. You can assign passwords using IronView Network Manager if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the device.

The CLI contains the following access levels:

User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.

Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system configuration to flash, and clear caches at this level.

CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system’s IP address and configure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
