Access to the EMP. By default, only devices in the same subnet as the EMP will be able to manage the switch through that port. For information on allowing devices in other subnets to manage the switch via the EMP, refer to

the Hardware Users Guide.

5Save these changes to the switch’s running memory by entering commit system at the boot prompt:

Boot > commit system

This will immediately enable your changes and allow users to ping the EMP. Note, however, that these changes have not yet been saved to the switch’s boot.params file and will be lost if the switch is rebooted.

6To permanently save these changes to the boot.params file, enter commit file at the boot prompt:

Boot > commit file

Changes will be preserved following a switch reboot.

7Return to the CLI prompt by entering exit at the boot prompt.

Important. Although you have configured the EMP with valid IP address information, you will not be able to access the switch through this port for Telnet, FTP, WebView, or SNMP sessions until you have unlocked these remote session types. See “Unlocking Session Types” for more information.

Unlocking Session Types

Security is a key feature on OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches. As a result, when you access the switch for the first time, you must use a direct console port connection. All other session types (Telnet, FTP, WebView, SNMP, etc.) are “locked out” until they are manually unlocked by the user.

The CLI command used to unlock session types is

aaaauthentication.

Note. When you unlock session types, you are granting switch access to non-local sessions (e.g., Telnet). As a result, users who know the correct user login and pass- word will have remote access to the switch. For more information on switch security, refer to the Switch Management Guide.

Unlocking All Session Types

To unlock all session types, enter the following command syntax at the CLI prompt:

-> aaa authentication default local

Unlocking Specified Session Types

You can also unlock session types on a one-by-one basis. For example, to unlock Telnet sessions only, enter the following command:

-> aaa authentication telnet local
