Completing the Installation of a DFE Module in an Existing System

In an established DFE module system,

a DFE module is already established as the management module,

the passwords have already been set for various users,

the system IP address is set, and

other system parameters have been set.

When you install a new DFE module into a system with an existing configured user account, the current system settings in that account are already recognized by the new DFE module and it will operate accordingly.

If you need to change any settings, you can connect a terminal to the local console port as described in “Connecting to COM Port for Local Management” on page 3‐20 to access system management, or use a Telnet connection to access the DFE module system management as described in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide.

Logging in with an Administratively-Configured User Account

If the device’s default user account settings have been changed, proceed as follows:

1.At the login prompt, enter your administratively‐assigned user name and press

ENTER.

2.At the Password prompt, enter your password and press ENTER.

The notice of authorization and the Matrix prompt displays as shown back in Figure 3‐12.

Note: Users with Read-Write (rw) and Read-Only access can use the set password command to change their own passwords. Administrators with Super User (su) access can use the set system login command to create and change user accounts, and the set password command to change any local account password. For information on the set password and set system login commands, refer to Chapter 3 in the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide.

The DFE module is now ready to be configured. For information about setting the IP address and configuring Telnet settings for remote access to DFE management, refer to Chapter 3 in the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you to initially set up and perform more involved management configurations.
