5. Verify that the login was successful. The prompt displays the switch name and user ID to which you are connected. login: admin password: xxxxxxx switch:admin> Using a console session on the serial port Note the following behaviors for serial connections: • Some procedures require that you connect through the serial port; for example, setting the IP address or setting the boot PROM password. • If you are using a Fabric OS version prior to 6.x, and secure mode is enabled, connect through the serial port of the primary FCS switch. • 4/256 SAN Director and DC Director: You can connect to CP0 or CP1 using either of the two serial ports. To connect through the serial port: 1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation. If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation. 2. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment), and configure the application as follows: • In a Windows environment: Parameter Value Bits per second Databits Parity Stop bits 9600 8 None 1 Flow control None • In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttyb -9600 If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttya -9600 Changing passwords The switch automatically prompts you to change the default account passwords after logging in for the first time. If you do not change the passwords, the switch prompts you after each subsequent login until all the default passwords have been changed. NOTE: The default account passwords can be changed from their original value only when prompted immediately following the login; the passwords cannot be changed using the passwd command later in the session. If you skip the prompt, and then later decide to change the passwords, log out and then back in. The default accounts on the switch are admin, user, root, and factory. Use the default administrative account as shown in Table 3 to log into the switch for the first time and to perform the basic configuration tasks. Fabric OS 6.1.x administrator guide 25
