Completing the Installation

Completing the Installation

Completing the DFE module installation depends on if the module is being installed in:

a new DFE module system (refer to “Completing the Installation of a New System” on page 3‐26), or

an established, operating DFE module system (refer to “Completing the Installation of a DFE Module in an Existing System” on page 3‐28).

Completing the Installation of a New System

In a new system of DFE modules, one of the installed DFE modules will become the management module on chassis power up, and all DFE modules will automatically be set to the factory default values. A complete list of the factory default values are provided in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide.

After installing all DFE modules into the host chassis and making the connections to the network, proceed to the following First‐Time Log‐In Using a Console Port Connection procedure to access the module management startup screen from your PC, terminal, or modem connection.

First-Time Log-In Using a Console Port Connection

Notes: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet configured with administratively-supplied user and password settings.

By default, the Matrix DFE Series device is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-Only access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user access to all modifiable parameters. The default password is set to blank (press ENTER). For information on changing these default passwords, refer to Chapter 3 in the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide.

Start the Command Line Interface (CLI) from the module’s local console port as follows:

1.Connect a terminal to the local console port as described in “Connecting to COM Port for Local Management” on page 3‐20. The startup screen, Figure 3‐12, displays.

2.At the login prompt, enter one of the following default user names:

ro for Read‐Only access,

rw for Read‐Write access, or

admin for Super User access. (This access level allows Read‐Write access to all modifiable parameters, including user accounts.)

3.Press ENTER.

4.The Password prompt displays. Leave this string blank and press ENTER. The module information and Matrix prompt displays as shown in Figure 3‐12.
