4: Quick Setup When you are done, the front panel returns to the clock display. The network port resets to the new settings, and you can connect to your IP network for further administration. You should be able to SSH to the SLC 8000 advanced console manager through your network connection, or access the Web interface through a Web browser. Restoring Factory Defaults To use the LCD display to restore factory default settings: 1. Press the right arrow button to move to the Release option. 2. Use the down arrow to move to the Restore Factory Defaults option. A prompt for the 6-digit Restore Factory Defaults password displays. 3. Press Enter to enter edit mode. 4. Using the left and right arrows to move between digits and the up and down arrows to change digits, enter the password (the default password is 999999). Note: The Restore Factory Defaults password is only for the LCD. You can change it at the command line interface using the CLI admin keypad password command. The front panel Factory Default password and sysadmin password should be recorded and stored in a secure place accessible by at least two authorized system administrators. Recovering an SLC if both of these passwords are unknown is cumbersome and time consuming. 5. Press Enter to exit edit mode. If the password is valid, a Save Settings? Yes/No prompt displays. 6. Select Yes and press Enter. When the process is complete, the SLC unit reboots. Limiting Sysadmin User Access For security purposes, full administrative access to the SLC via the default sysadmin local user account can be limited to only the front console port of the SLC device. To configure this: 1. Enable the Sysadmin access limited to Console Port option on the Local/Remote Users web page.' 2. Enable a remote authentication method (such as TACACS+ or LDAP) and configure the remote authentication method to be first in the order of methods used. 3. Create a remote user account with full administrative rights. 4. Uncheck the Attempt next method on authentication rejection checkbox on the Authentication Methods web page. These steps will prevent any local users from logging in, restrict the default sysadmin local user to the front console port, and allow a user with administrative rights to login, as long as remote authentication is working.
