Nortel Networks 8600 manual New Default Community Strings in High Secure hsecure Mode

Technical Configuration Guide for SNMP v2.0 December 2006

3.4New Default Community Strings in High Secure (hsecure) Mode

If the ERS 8600 has been configured for high security mode (config bootconfig flags hsecure true) after a factory default setting, the software will change the default password and SNMP communities. All new passwords must be at least 8 characters and in release 4.1, all new passwords must be at least 10 characters. All old passwords less than 8 or 10 (for release 4.1) characters are no longer valid and you will be prompted to change the password to the mandatory character length.

To enable or disable hsecure, enter the following commands:

•ERS-8606:5#config bootconfig flags hsecure {falsetrue}

•ERS-8606:5# save boot

•ERS-8606:5# boot –y

From a previous default factory setting, without changes made to the password or SNMP community strings, the following tables display the default hsecure settings.
