This chapter tells you how to use network administration commands. Examples of the tasks these commands perform are: creating a password, setting the network date and time, and adding a user.
Signing on to a node is a two-step process that requires you to enter a User ID and a password. The system or network administrator can provide a User ID and password to you. The User ID can be up to 12 characters. To protect the security of the system, you should change your password regularly. Only your system administrator can change the User ID. To sign on to a node:
Step 1 Enter your user ID at the system prompt "Enter User ID."
Step 2 Enter your password at the "Enter Password" prompt. For initial sign-on, enter the password that the system administrator provides. You can change the password with the cnfpwd command.
After you sign on, the system is ready and so prompts you for the next command.
When you have completed a session and want to sign off, use the bye command. This command returns the display to the initial system sign-on prompt. If you enter the bye command when you have a virtual terminal connection to another node, the bye command ends the virtual terminal session and returns to the a local session. To end the local session and thus sign-off the system, again enter the bye command.
To change the password, takes the step in the list that follows. given to you by your System Administrator, or to change your present password to a different one, perform the following. To ensure the security of your system, your password should be changed on a regular basis. See the System Administrator for the recommended frequency of change.
Step 1 Enter the cnfpwd command. The system prompts for your current password.
Step 2 Enter your current password. The system prompts for a new password.
Step 3 Enter a new password. Passwords must have 6-15 characters. The system prompts you to confirm the new password by typing it again.
Date and time are network-wide parameters. You can set the time zone for each node. The cnfdate command lets you set both time and date. The cnftime command lets you set the time for the entire network.
Table 13-1 shows the full name and starting page for the description of each network management command.

Adds a user to the network. The first time the new user ID is used for logon, a prompt appears asking the user to change from the default password to a new password which they enter using the cnfpwd command. Users with privilege levels 1 through 5 may add users with lower privilege levels. Since privilege level 6 has no user levels below it, level 6 cannot add any users.

Parameter | Description |
---|---|
userid | Specifies the name of the user to add. |
privilege level | Specifies the privilege level to grant to the added user. The range of levels is 1-6, where 1 is the highest level and 6 is the lowest. |
Changes the password associated with a User ID. To change a password, you must log into the node with the User ID whose password you want to change. Passwords are case-sensitive.
In a structured network, each domain requires you to have a password. In each domain, your password and associated privilege level can be the same of different from those in the other domains. For each domain, you can change the password at any node within the domain, including a junction node.

Parameter | Description |
---|---|
old password | Specifies the old password. |
new password | Specifies the new password. Passwords must have 6-15 characters. Only letters, numbers, "_", and "-" are allowed in a password. Spaces are not allowed. |
Use the cnffwswinit command to inform the IPX/IGX/BPX the IP address of the machine that will be used to initiate a firmware or software download. This is used as a sort of a safety measure, to prevent downloads from being started anywhere in the network. You must have access to a node, and use the cnffwswinit command to set the IP address before a download will be accepted from that address.

Configures an IP address for the Statistics Master process in StrataView Plus. The cnfstatmast command defines the IP address for routing the messages to and from the Statistics Master in StrataView Plus.
The Statistics Master process requests and receives network statistics by using TFTP Get and Put messages. These TFTP messages pass between the node and the Statistics Master over IP Relay. See the cnfnwip description for details on setting a node address.

Parameter | Description |
---|---|
ip address | Specifies the IP address for the Statistics Master. IP addresses have 32-bits. The format of an IP address is x.x.x.x, where x is a value in the range 1-255. |
Configures various system (or network) parameters. Network-wide parameters are configurable only when all nodes in the network are reachable. The parameters you specify with this command apply throughout the network regardless of which node you execute the command from. Take special note of the consequences of how you resolve conflicting values when networks are joined.
Each parameter is selectable by its index number. The paragraphs that follow describe each parameter by index number. Table 13-6 lists the defaults and ranges for each parameter.
The following paragraphs describe the user-configurable system parameters by index number.
