Setting Passwords If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should define new
passwords for both default user names using the “username” command, record
them and put them in a safe place.
Passwords can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive.
To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords as follows:
1. Open the console interface with the default user name and password “admin”
to access the Privileged Exec level.
2. Type “configure” and press <Enter>.
3. Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal Exec level, where
password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
4. Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the Privileged Exec level,
where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
Username: admin

CLI session with the AOS5700-54X* is opened.

* This manual covers the AS5700-54X 10G and AS6700-32X 40G Layer 3 Ethernet
switches. AS5700-54X and AS6700-32X are the bare metal switch names
without any operating system installed. AOS5700-54X and AOS6700-32X are the
same switches with the AOS operating system as described in this manual.
Other than the difference in port types, there are no significant differences.
Therefore most of the screen display examples are based on the AOS5700-54X.
Remote Connections
(Network Interface
or Craft Port)
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure the switch’s network interface or craft port with a valid IPv4 or IPv6
address.
The default network interface is VLAN 1 which includes ports 1-32/54. However,
note that the switch also includes a Craft port on the front panel which provides a
secure management channel that is isolated from all other ports on the switch. This
interface is not configured with an IP address by default, but may be manually
configured with an IPv4 address. The Craft port is specified with the name “craft” in
the commands used to configure its IP address.
When configuring the network interface, the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway may all be set using a console connection, or DHCP protocol as described
in the following sections.
