Setting passwords for local/remote connections

To protect the Avaya M770 ATM Switch from accidental or unauthorized 
configuration from a local (via the serial port) or remote end-station (via Telnet), 
you may want to set a password for the switch.
The following sequence shows you how to set a password for the switch for the first 
time. Because no password exists, the M770 ATM Switch does not prompt for the 
old password.

Once you have set a password, the CLI will ask you to enter the password each time 
you connect to the switch. 
To terminate a session and prevent other from configuring the switch use the 

exit

 

command.
Once you have enabled password protection there is a timeout period of 15 minutes 
before the CLI session is terminated.

Enter the old password and press “Enter” for the new password.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>password

Output: 

M15-155s8:/>There is no password at the moment.

M15-155s8:/>Enter the new password (does not echo): ******** 

[ENTER]

M15-155s8:/>Enter the new password again (does not echo): 

******** [ENTER]

M15-155s8:/>Password changed.
