Modifying the FCS Switch Passwords or the Fabric-Wide User Password
The passwd command can be used to modify the passwords for the following accounts when
secure mode is enabled:
• The fabric-wide user account
• The admin, root, and factory accounts on the FCS switches
• MUA passwords for user-defined accounts
To modify the passwords
1. From a sectelnet or SSH session, log in to the primary FCS switch as admin, root, or factory,
depending on which password you want to modify (use the account for which you want to
modify a password or a higher-level account).
2. Type the passwd command.
3. Type the new passwords at the prompts. The passwords can be anywhere between 8 and 40
alphanumeric characters in length.
switch:admin> passwd "admin"
Changing password for admin
Enter new password:
Re-type new password:
Password changed.
Saving password to stable storage.
Password saved to stable storage successfully.
The passwords are distributed to all switches in the fabric and saved in the Secure Fabric OS
database. Any existing telnet connections to the switches are terminated and must be
reinitiated if access is required.
Modifying the Non-FCS Switch Admin Password
Use the secNonFCSPasswd command to modify the password for the admin account on non-FCS
switches. Secure mode must be enabled to use this command.
To modify the admin password for non-FCS switches
1. From a sectelnet or SSH session, log in to the primary FCS switch as admin.
2. Type the secNonFCSPasswd command.
3. Type the new non-FCS admin password at the prompt. The password can be anywhere from 8
to 40 alphanumeric characters in length.
This password becomes the admin password for all non-FCS switches in the fabric.
4. Reenter the new non-FCS admin password at the prompt.
primaryfcs:admin> secnonfcspasswd
Non FCS switch password:
Re-enter new password:
Committing configuration...done.
The password is distributed to all switches in the fabric and saved in the Secure Fabric OS
database. Any existing admin-level telnet connections to these non-FCS switches are
terminated.
