You can also set the CLI password using the cli password command, or the Password Setting web-based management page. When you log on to the switch, you are prompted to enter a valid user name. Therefore, ensure you are aware of the valid usernames (default RW and RO) before you change passwords.

For the standard software image, the default password for user RO is "user" and for user RW is "secure". For the secure software image, the default password for RO is "userpasswd" and for RW is "securepasswd".

For more information about this and other advanced security features supported on the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series Security — Configuration and Management (NN47215-505).

Logging in
