Chapter 12: Command Line Interface (CLI)
233
Initial Configuration Using CLI
Note: These steps, which use the CLI, are optional since the same
configuration can be done via KVM. See Getting Started for more
information.
KSX II devices come from the factory with default factory settings. When
you first power up and connect to the device, you must set the following
basic parameters so the device can be accessed securely from the
network:
1. Reset the administrator password. All KSX II devices are shipped
with the same default password. Therefore, to avoid security
breaches it is imperative that you change the admin password from
raritan to one customized for the administrators who will manage the
KSX II device.
2. Assign the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address to
allow remote access.
Setting Parameters
To set parameters, you must be logged on with administrative privileges.
At the top level, you will see the "Username" > prompt, which for the
initial configuration is "admin". Enter the top command to return to the
top menu level.
Note: If you have logged on with a different user name, that user name
will appear instead of admin.
Setting Network Parameters
Network parameters are configured using the interface command.
admin > Config > Network > interface ipauto none ip
192.168.151.12 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.151.1 mode
auto
When the command is accepted, the device automatically drops the
connection. You must reconnect to the device using the new IP address
and the user name and password you created in the resetting factory
default password section.
Important: If the password is forgotten, the KSX II will need to be
reset to the factory default from the Reset button on the back of the
KSX II. The initial configuration tasks will need to be performed
again if this is done.
