Setting passwords for local/remote connections

To protect the Avaya M770 ATM Switch from accidental or unauthorized configuration from a local (via the serial port) or remote end-station (via Telnet), you may want to set a password for the switch.

The following sequence shows you how to set a password for the switch for the first time. Because no password exists, the M770 ATM Switch does not prompt for the old password.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>password

 

Output:

M15-155s8:/>There is

no password at the moment.

 

M15-155s8:/>Enter the new password (does not echo): ********

 

[ENTER]

 

 

M15-155s8:/>Enter the new password again (does not echo):

 

******** [ENTER]

 

 

M15-155s8:/>Password

changed.

Once you have set a password, the CLI will ask you to enter the password each time you connect to the switch.

To terminate a session and prevent other from configuring the switch use the exit command.

Once you have enabled password protection there is a timeout period of 15 minutes before the CLI session is terminated.

To delete a password

Enter the old password and press “Enter” for the new password.
