Local users
Local usersare authenticated on the device without using an external authentication mechanism such
as TACACS+ or RADIUS. Local user authentication is enabled by default, with one preconfiged default
user.
Default user
At manufacturing time, each IX20 device comeswith a default user configured as follows:
n
Username: admin.
n
Password: The default password isdisplayed on the label on the bottom of the device.
Note The default password isa unique password for the device, and is the most critical
security feature for the device. If you reset the device to factory defaults, you must log in using
the default user and password, and you should immediately change the password to a custom
password. Before deploying or mounting the IX20 device, record the default password, so you
havethe information available when you need it even if you cannot physically access the label
on the bottom of the device.
The default admin user is preconfigured with both Admin and Serial access. You can configure the
admin user account to fit with the needs of your environment.
