Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH Management Session
Note
You have to configure the Secure Shell (SSH) server on the switch
before you can begin to configure the unit from an SSH client on
your network. The initial configuration of the SSH server must be
performed from a local management session or a Telnet session.
For information on configuring the SSH server, refer to the AT-S63
Management Software Features Guide.
To start a remote Telnet or SSH connection, perform the following
procedure:
1. In the Telnet or SSH client on the remote management workstation,
enter the IP address of the local interface on the switch or stack to be
managed. This can be a stand-alone switch, the master switch of an
enhanced stack, or the master switch of an AT-9400Ts Stack.
Prompts are displayed for a user name and password.
2. Enter a user name and password. The switch comes with two default
user accounts: manager and operator. The manager account lets you
configure the switch’s settings while the operator account only lets you
view them.
To log in as the manager, enter “manager” as the user name. The
default password for manager access is “friend. “To log in as an
operator to just view the settings, enter “operator” as the user name.
The default password for operator access is “operator.” User names
and passwords are case sensitive.
Note
A switch can support one manager session and eight operator
sessions simultaneously.
The local management session starts and the command line interface
(CLI) prompt is displayed, as shown in Figure 2 on page 14.If the
switch has been configured with a name, the name is displayed below
the switch’s model name.
3. To use the menus interface, type menu and press Return.
The Main Menu is shown in Figure 3 on page 14.
4. To select a menu item, type the corresponding letter or number.
5. To return to a previous menu, press the Esc key or type the letter R.
