Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them,

and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability

in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

• For Emergencies only—security-aler[email protected]

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which

a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered

non-emergencies.

• For Non-emergencies—[email protected]om

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

• 1 877 228-7302

• 1 408 525-6532

Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to

encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been

encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence

with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page

at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers

before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.

recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service

request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.

(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)

Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business

operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)

EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55

Preface

Obtaining Additional Publications and Information

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations.

You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your

business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco

will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations

remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service

to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or

configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Using the CLI

This chapter provides a general overview of the Cisco Server Switch command line interface (CLI). It

describes how to start a CLI session, how to enter commands, and how to view online help. Details about

individual commands appear later in this document.

The following sections appear in this chapter:

• Setting up the Switch, page 1-1

• Starting A CLI Session, page 1-2

• Entering CLI Modes, page 1-4

• Exiting CLI Modes, page 1-6

• Quick Help, page 1-6

• Editing the CLI, page 1-7

• Exiting the CLI Session, page 1-8

• Specifying Modules and Ports, page 1-9

• Using the Documentation, page 1-10

Setting up the Switch

The first time that you access your Server Switch, you must connect a management station, such as a PC

or Linux terminal, to the Serial Console port on your Server Switch. After you establish this connection,

you can configure the management ports on your Server Switch so that you can perform configuration

tasks with a telnet session, Element Manager, or Chassis Manager.

Note SFS Server Switch product configurations with TopspinOS release 2.3.x and higher use a 128-bit

MD5-based hashing scheme to store passwords.

1-2

Cisco SFS 7000 Series Product Family Command Reference Guide

OL-9163-02

Chapter 1 Using the CLI

Starting A CLI Session

To configure a Server Switch through the Serial Console port, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Connect a PC or terminal to the Serial Console port. For detailed instructions, see the appropriate

hardware guide for your Server Switch model.

Step 2 Open a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal for Windows), and configure session

parameters as follows:

–

Baud: 9600 b/s

–

Data Bits: 8

–

Parity: None

–

Stop Bits: 1

–

Flow control: None

Step 3 Attach both power plugs to the Server Switch chassis to power up the Server Switch. The CLI login

prompt appears on the management station terminal.

Starting A CLI Session

The CLI login prompt automatically appears in a terminal window when you connect the serial port of

a computer to the Serial Console port. It also appears when you launch a telnet session to an Ethernet

Management port. The user account that you use to log in determines your level of access. By default,

you can log in as “super,” “admin,” or “guest.” Table 1-1 lists and describes user login privileges.

In addition to the default user accounts described above, there are administrative roles that may be

assigned to individual user accounts. Roles allow granular levels of privileges. For example, you can

create separate FibreChannel, Ethernet, or InfiniBand administrators, who only need access to specific

subsystems. The Server Switch combines multiple roles with read and read-write access for flexible

control.

super The super user has unrestricted privileges. Use this account for initial configuration.

This user may view and modify a configuration, as well as administer user accounts

and access privileges. This user configures the console and management ports for

initial Server Switch setup. This login uses "super" as the default password.

admin The admin user has general read-write privileges. This user may view and modify the

current configuration. However, the admin user can change only its own user

information, such as the admin password. This login uses “admin” as the default

password.

guest The guest user has read-only privileges. This user may only view the current

configuration. The guest user cannot make any changes during the CLI session. When

you first bring up your Server Switch, you must enable this login. (See the

“username” section on page 2-80). This login uses “guest” as the default password.
