iBypass HD

Change the iBypass HD Login Password
It is strongly recommended that you change the login password from the default to provide security against

unauthorized access.
To change the login password:
1. Type user mod name=admin pw=<new password> priv=1.

The password is changed.

2. Record the new password in a secure location.

If you want to change the user name, use the user add command to create a new user account under that name. You can

use the user del command to delete a user account. (The admin account cannot be deleted unless another account with

admin privileges exists).

Assign a New iBypass HD IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address
If you are using the local RS232 serial interface to access the CLI, then you need to configure the IP Address that

Indigo management software, when available, will use to communicate with the iBypass HD. If the iBypass HD must

communicate through a Gateway to reach the network, then set the Gateway IP Address for that Gateway.

If you are running the CLI remotely, you can change the IP Address, but when you do, you will lose your SSH

connection since it is talking to the old IP Address. In that case, initiate a new SSH session to the new IP address and

you can continue using the CLI remotely.
To assign a new IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address to the iBypass HD:
1. Type sysip show.

The current IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address are displayed.

2. Type sysip set ipaddr=<new ip address> mask=<new netmask> gw=<new gateway>.

The IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address are made pending.

3. Type sysip show.

Verify that the displayed "Pending Sysip Info" IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address are the desired values.

4. Type sysip commit to activate the new IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address.

Example: sysip set ipaddr=10.60.4.180 mask=255.0.0.0 gw=10.0.0.1

sysip commit

Tip! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

The sysip set command requires that all three arguments are present.

Change the SSH Password
For security purposes, you should change the password used to log into the SSH account from the default password

netoptics. Use the passwd CLI command to change the SSH password (also called the UNIX password). The SSH

account user name ibypass cannot be changed.
