Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session
52 Section I: Basic Operations
Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH Management Session
The AT-S63 management software has the Telnet and Secure Shell
(SSH) server software for remote management of the device using a
Telnet or SSH client. Note the following before starting a remote
management session on a switch:
ˆ Starting a remote Telnet or SSH management session on the master
switch of an enhanced stack gives you management access to the
other switches in the same stack.
ˆ Starting a remote management session on a slave switch, a switch
with a stacking status of unavailable, or a switch that is not part of an
enhanced stack gives you management access to just that switch.
ˆ The remote management workstation must reach the switch through
the subnet of the switch’s local interface. For background information,
refer to “Planning for Remote Management” on page 49.
ˆ To establish an SSH management session, you must create an
encryption key pair on the switch and configure the SSH server. For
instructions, refer to Chapter 35, “Secure Shell (SSH)” on page 825.
Starting a
Remote
Management
Session
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 to be
managed. This can be an isolated switch (i.e., not part of an enhanced
stack) or a master switch of an enhanced stack. For background
information on the local interface, refer to “Planning for Remote
Management” on page 49.
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. For information on the two access
levels, refer to “Management Access Levels” on page 42. For
instructions on how to change a password, refer to “Changing the
Manager and Operator Passwords” on page 63. For instructions on
how to create your own manager and operator accounts, refer to
Chapter 36, “TACACS+ and RADIUS Protocols” on page 835.
