This section describes how to log in as the default user. For information about advanced configuration
options for login access, see the sections for the following features:
• User authentication for CLI access—See the “Configuring Authentication for CLI Access” section
on page 12-8. You can configure user authentication for accessing the CLI from Telnet, SSH, and
HTTP (for the PDM for FWSM). You can also require authentication for the enable command.
• Command authorization—See the “Configuring Command Authorization” section on page 12-10 or
“Configuring TACACS+ Command Authorization” section on page 12-13. Use command
authorization (the authority to enter commands) in conjunction with CLI or enable authentication.
To session into the FWSM, log in, access privileged mode, and then configuration mode, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Session into the FWSM using the command appropriate for your switch operating system:
• Cisco IOS software
Router# session slot number processor 1
• Catalyst operating system software
Console> (enable) session module_number
For multiple context mode, when you session into the FWSM, you access the system configuration. See
Chapter 5, “Managing Security Contexts,” for more information.
Step 2 Log into the FWSM by entering the login password at the following prompt:
FWSM passwd:
By default, the password is cisco.
To change the password, see the “Changing the Passwords” section on page 6-1.
Step 3 To access privileged mode, enter the following command:
FWSM> enable
This command accesses the highest privilege level.
The following prompt appears:
Password:
Step 4 Enter the enable password at the prompt.
By default, the password is blank, and you can press the Enter key to continue. See the “Changing the
Passwords” section on page 6-1 to change the enable password.
The prompt changes to:
FWSM#
To exit privileged mode, enter disable. You can also enter exit or quit to exit the current access mode
(privileged mode, configuration mode, etc.).
Step 5 To access configuration mode, enter the following command:
FWSM# configure terminal
The prompt changes to the following:
FWSM(config)#
