Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C190 Technical References

This chapter contains the following sections:

The Command Line Interface is accessible via SSH or Telnet on IP interfaces that have been configured 
with these services enabled, or via terminal emulation software on the serial port. By factory default, 
SSH and Telnet are configured on the Management port. Use the 

interfaceconfig 

command to disable 

these services.

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 command line interface for the first time via the admin account. The system setup wizard 
asks you to change the password for the admin account. The password for the admin account can also 
be reset directly at any time using the 

password

 command. 

To connect via Ethernet: Start an SSH or Telnet session with the factory default IP address 
192.168.42.42. SSH is configured to use port 22. Telnet is configured to use port 23. Enter the username 
and password below. 

To connect via a Serial connection: Start a terminal session with the communication port on your 
personal computer that the serial cable is connected to. See the “Setup and Installation” chapter for more 
information. Enter the username and password below. 

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