General commands 54

When entering a password in this manner, you must include quotation marks around the password being set.

This form of command is useful for scripted setup.

Disabling SL-APM passwords

To disable the password, enter DISABLE PASSWORD.
This command disables the password protection feature. If the password is disabled, SSH and Telnet access
are also disabled.

Resetting factory settings for SL-APM

To restore the SL-APM to its factory default settings, enter RESET FACTORY.
This command restores SL-APM to factory settings, including no password and Ethernet access, and then

performs a reboot.

WARNING:

When you enter RESET FACTORY, SL-APM erases your entire configuration. Before

resetting factory defaults, consider saving your configuration. For more information on
duplicating your configuration, see "Duplicating the configuration (on page

26

)".

Working with accounts

SL-APM supports two login accounts (including the built-in Administrator account) on a single SL-APM board.

Adding an account

To add an account, enter ADD ACCOUNT. For example, enter
myslapm> add account "root"

Password must be at least 8 characters

myslapm>
After you enter this command with a valid new username, a prompt asking for a password appears. Enter the
password. The new account is available for system login.
If you do not specify a password, and the username does not already exist, then you are prompted for a

password.
All user accounts have the same permissions.

NOTE:

Login accounts and passwords are stored separate from the board configuration. A

SHOW CONFIG command will not reveal any ADD ACCOUNT commands.
