This section describes the rules and conventions of the AsyncOS Command Line Interface.

Access to the CLI varies depending on the management connection method chosen while 
setting up the appliance. The factory default username and password are listed next. Initially, 
only the admin user account has access to the CLI. You can add other users with differing 
levels of permission after you have accessed the CLI for the first time using the admin account. 
The System Setup Wizard prompts you to change the password for the admin account. 

You can also reset the admin account password at any time using the 

passwd

 command.

You can connect using one of the following methods:

• Ethernet. Start an SSH or Telnet session with the IP address of the Web Security appliance. 

The factory default IP address is 192.168.42.42. SSH is configured to use port 22. Telnet is 
configured to use port 23.

• Serial connection. Start a terminal session with the communication port on your personal 

computer that the serial cable is connected to.

Log in to the appliance by entering the username and password below.

• Username: 

• Password: 

For example: 

The top-level command prompt consists of the fully qualified hostname, followed by the 
greater than (

>

) symbol, followed by a space. For example:

When running commands, the CLI requires input from you. When the CLI is expecting input, 
the prompt displays the default values enclosed in square brackets (

[]

) followed by the 

greater than (

>

) symbol. When there is no default value, the brackets are empty. 

For example:

login: admin
password: ironport
