its chassis name.

• A serial console connection to the active management module. The active management module has the LED labeled
ACTIVE on the front panel illuminated in blue.
• A Telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
2. Log in to the device using admin as your login name. If you have not changed the default password, use password.
