Configuring the SCP Administrator Password

To configure the SCP Administrator password, first connect to the switch via the management system. For security reasons, the scpadm password may only be configured when connected through the management system.

To configure the password, enter the following command via the CLI. At factory default set- tings, the current SCP administrator password is PASSWORD.

>>/cfg/sys/sshd/scpadm

Changing SCP-only Administrator password; validation required...

Enter current administrator password: <password>

Enter new SCP-only administrator password: <new password>

Re-enter new SCP-only administrator password: <new password> New SCP-only administrator password accepted.

Using SSH and SCP Client Commands

This section shows the format for using some client commands. For the examples below, the IP address of the switch is 205.178.15.100, the IP address of the management system is 205.178.15.157, and 1022 as the SSH port number.

To Log In to the Switch:

Syntax:

ssh -1<username> <switch IP address> or

ssh -p<SSH port number> -1<username> <Advanced MM IP address>

Example:

>># ssh -1 scpadmin205.178.15.100

or

>># ssh -p 1022 -1 scpadmin@205.178.15.157
