Default IP user credentials

The Management application uses default user names and passwords to access devices when contacting these devices through the command line interface (CLI) on the network. You can enter a list of default names and passwords in the Management application before running discovery. Discovery uses this list to contact devices to determine the correct user name and password for the device. The first time discovery contacts a device, the Management application enters the default names and passwords for the device into the Management application database. This feature saves you the trouble of entering authentication passwords for every newly discovered device.

NOTE

Discovery does not remove an invalid user name or password from the device information unless it is able to replace it with a valid one.

The Management application groups default user names and passwords by the following password types:

•Read/Write Login Prompt — The login prompt the device uses when logging in by Telnet or CLI to the device.

•Read/Write Enable Prompt — The enable prompt the device uses in CLI mode to go to device enable mode.

•Enable Super User — The super user enable password configured on the device for Telnet login. You can configure the super user enable password by using the enable super-user-passwordCLI command. The super user enable password can be used to authenticate users with the super user privilege configured on the device.

You can define more than one password for each password type. Discovery uses the passwords in the order they are listed when it probes the devices.

1.Select Discover > IP Products.
