ATTENTION

Nortel recommends that you do not use this protocol due to the risk to the security of your network.

Password encryption

Beginning in Release 4.1, the switch stores passwords in encrypted format and no longer in the configuration file.

ATTENTION

If you load a configuration file saved prior to Release 3.7.6, saved passwords from the configuration file are not recognized. If you boot the switch for the first time with the software Release 3.7.6 or higher image, the switch resets the password to default values and generates a log, which indicates the changes.

For security reasons, Nortel recommends that you configure the passwords to values other than the factory defaults.

Management port

You must assign an IP address to the management port before you can use it for out-of-band (OOB) management. In a switch with redundant 8691or 8692 modules, each management port uses a specific IP address. In addition, you can create a virtual management port with an IP address available to the master management module.

The master management module replies to all management requests sent to the virtual IP address, and to requests sent to the management port IP address. If the master management module fails and the backup management module takes over, the virtual management port IP address continues to provide management access to the switch.
