Commissioning includes the minimal, but essential, configuration steps to provide a default, starting point configuration, set up a management interface, and establish basic security on the node. For more information about configuring security, see Nortel Ethernet Routing [...]

16 Commissioning fundamentals Terminal connection Connect the serial console interface (an RS-232 port) to a PC or terminal to monitor and configure the switch. The port uses a DB-9 connector that operates as data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equipment (DCE). The default communication protocol settings for the console port are: ?[...]

System logon 19 If each user must use a different IP address, list each user with a different IP address in the file. Configure the client IP settings to use a static IP address that matches what you configure in the secrets file. An example secrets file looks like the following: long * long 47.133.223.200 william * william 47.133.223.200 System lo[...]

20 Commissioning fundamentals hsecure mode The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 supports a flag called high secure (hsecure). hsecure introduces the following behaviors for the password: 10-character enforcement, aging time, limitation of failed logon attempts, and a protection mechanism to filter certain IP addresses. After you enable the hsecu[...]
