Compaq AA-RHGWC-TE manual Logging In to the Switch with a Telnet Connection

When you have completed setting the IP address and subnet mask, disconnect the PC or terminal from the DS-DSGGB-AA or DS-DSGGC-AA switch.

6.5.1.2.4 Logging In to the Switch with a Telnet Connection

Before you telnet to a Fibre Channel switch, you must set the Ethernet IP address and subnet mask.

______________________ Note _______________________

A serial port connection and a telnet session cannot both be active (at the same time) with the DS-DSGGB-AA and DS-DSGGC-AA switch. The telnet session takes precedence and the serial port session is aborted when the telnet session is started.

You can use a telnet session to log in to the switch at one of three security levels. The default user names, shown from lowest security level to highest security level, are shown in Table 6–1.

Table 6–1: Telnet Session Default User Names for Fibre Channel Switches

DSGGA	DSGGB or	Description
	DSGGC
other	n/a	Allows you to execute commands ending in
		Show, such as dateShow and portShow.
user	user	Allows you to execute all commands ending in
		Show, plus any commands from the help menu
		that do not change the state of the switch, for
		example, version and errDump. You can
		change the passwords for all users up to and
		including the current user’s security level.
admin	admin	Provides access to all the commands that show
		up in the help menu. Most switch administration
		is done when logged in as admin.
n/a	root	Gives users access to an extensive command set
		that can significantly alter system performance.
		Root commands should only be used at the
		request of Compaq customer service.

You can set the user names and passwords for users at or below the security level of the present login level by executing the passwd command. Enter a new user name (if desired) and a new password for the user.
