Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch CLI-based Administration Guide
Accessing the CLI 37
Accessing the CLI
Your first form of access to the CLI (after installing the Cuda 12000) is
through COM port 1 located on the front of the management module. Once
you assign the Craft Ethernet port on the management module an IP
address, you can access the CLI remotely through Telnet or SSH.
Use the following procedure to logon to the system management module
and access the CLI environment through COM port 1:
1. Ensure that you have cabled a console or a system running a terminal
emulation program to COM port 1 and configured the correct serial
transmission settings (57,600, 8, 1).
2. Access the system through the terminal emulator. Press [Enter] until you
see the Linux login prompt.
3. You are then prompted for a login name and password to logon to the
CLI. Enter your login name and password. The system ships with the
following system defaults:
■Account Name: administrator
■Password: bas
The Linux prompt is then displayed.
Note that the default login name and password are case-sensitive — all
lowercase.
4. From the command prompt, access the CLI environment by issuing the
following command:
bascli
5. Within the CLI environment, enter your Cuda 12000 login name and
password, as follows:
enable <account name>
<password>
Note that the login name and password must be either defined locally on
the Cuda 12000 or defined on a RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication
server. Refer to Chapter 3 “Managing User Accounts” for more
information on managing usernames and passwords.
