Using Authenticate Mode (optional)
Authenticate mode allows the user to set a password on the chassis or appliance, so only
authorized users can access the equipment. The Authenticate commands can only be
accessed when the user is directly connected to the chassis or appliance using a USB
keyboard and DVI video monitor. If SSH is used to access the chassis or appliance, these
commands will not be available.
When authenticate is “on” or “reset,” a password must be generated using simple ascii
text, but it cannot be left blank. Once the password is generated, the Spirent TestCenter
GUI or API user will be required to enter the generated password when they attempt to
connect to the chassis or appliance.
Follow these instructions to use Authenticate mode on your appliance:
Note: The Black Bold text is user input; Blue Bold text is console output.
