Figure 3-4. Accessing a Switch During the First Ten Minutes after Bootup: No
Password Required
After the initial unsecured ten minutes, you are prompted for a password to log on to
the system. To ensure system access and authentication, configure user names and
password as described in the FTOS Configuration Guides.
Dell Force10 strongly recommends that you reconfigure the temporary management
IP address (192.168.0.1) within ten minutes after a switch boots up in factory-default
mode. The user-configured management IP address takes effect after the ten-minute
period expires.
Following the ten-minute period, after authentication is enabled, you can remotely
access the switch using telnet or SSH as shown in Figure 3-5.
[root@localhost tftpboot]# telnet 192.168.0.1
