Defining the Console Password
The only restrictions on SC console passwords are the character set supported by
ASCII and the terminal emulator in use. The SC uses the MD5 algorithm to generate
a hash of the password entered. Correspondingly, all characters entered are
significant.
A minimum password length of 16 characters promotes the use of pass-phrases
instead of passwords. Passwords should be composed of a mixture of lowercase,
uppercase, numeric, and punctuation characters. For information on how to set the
console password, see the Netra T2000 Server Installation Guide, 819-5838.
Using the SNMP Protocol Default Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is commonly used to monitor and
manage networked devices and servers. By default, SNMP is disabled.
Note – The use of Sun Management Center software requires SNMP. However, since
the SC does not support a secure version of the SNMP protocol, do not enable SNMP
unless you must use Sun Management Center software.

▼ To Reboot the System Controller
The SC needs to be rebooted if a console message similar to the following is
displayed:
1. Type resetsc -y to reboot the SC.
The SC can be rebooted while the Solaris domain is running.
Rebooting the SC is required for changes in network settings to
take effect.
