Login to the device
When you connect to the device via a console port, telnet, or ssh connection (*1), a login prompt like the following one
appears:
By entering the user name and password, you can run commands.
Only the administrator can log into the system for the first time. For the first time, enter "admin" for the user name, and
press ENTER for the password.
*1) For ssh connections, "Login:" does not ap pear. Specify the user name at the ssh client.
*2) This message warns you that system security is weak because the password is not set. This message will not appear
after you set a password with 8 or more alphanumeric characters and symbols.
*3) The model name is also shown in the prompt by default. When a prompt character string is configured, the configured
prompt is displayed.

User name and password

The user name and password are different for the administrator and general users.
•User name
The username for the administrator is "admin" and the user name for the general user is "user" (fixed user names).
By using a password aaa command and specifying use of AAA user information (aaa user id command) or RADIUS
server user information as the login user information, you can add user names as an administrator or general user.
• Password
No password is configured by default. Be sure to configure the password when you log into the system for the first
time. Use the password admin set command to configure the administrator password and the password user set
command to configure the general user password. When configuring password aaa command settings, set the
administrator and user passwords in the AAA user information stored in the system (aaa user password command) or in
the user information for the RADIUS server.
Login: Enter user name (*1)
Password: Enter password.
<WARNING> weak admin’s password:set the password (*2)
