Managing the Hub

Console Command Reference

PAssword

	To set or change the password on the hub. The Password is used to
	prevent unauthorized access to the hub from network management stations,
	and through the console interface. The hub is initially shipped without a
	password. Follow the prompts to enter a new password or to change the
	existing password. If you assign a password, it is also used as the SNMP
	community name.
	If you decide to delete the password, enter the Password command, then press
	[Enter] without entering any characters at the password prompt.
	Press and hold the Password Reset button for approximately 10 seconds to
	clear a password.
N o t e	After the password has been cleared, access to the hub from the ASCII console
	and from SNMP management stations will no longer be password protected.
	A new password can be assigned from the ASCII console or CiscoWorks.

PIng

To test the path between the hub and another device that responds to IP packets. The hub sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request (Ping) packets to another node with the specified IP address and waits for Echo Response packets in return.

When you run the Ping command, you will be prompted for:

■the IP address of the destination device (in the format X.X.X.X)

■the number of packets to send

■the timeout value (the number of seconds to wait for a response)

If any errors are reported during this test, there may be a fault in the path used during the test or in the destination device. For more information about testing network links, see chapter 2, “Troubleshooting”.
