Configuration Issues 7
Changing Password The Server Load Balancer and Server Load Balancer Plus provide two
levels of access, admin and monitor. The password field contains
blank
default login passwords.
The two levels of access are:
■ admin — the user can access and change all manageable
parameters
■ monitor — the user can view all manageable parameters, but
cannot change any parameters
The Server Load Balancer does not provide a way to recover a lost
password. If you choose to assign a new password, it is suggested you
keep note of it in a safe place. If you forget your password, you will be
locked out of the unit. If you change the password during the CLI Server
Load Balancer setup, this is the password you should use, and not the
blank default login password.
Committing
Configurations
Configuration changes performed on either the Server Load Balancer or
the Server Load Balancer Plus are committed to the configuration file
after a 15 second delay. You should wait at least 30 seconds before
rebooting the Server Load Balancer and Server Load Balancer Plus.
The configuration file represents the current operating configuration and
can be downloaded by entering the following address into the your
management browser’s address field, assuming the address of the Server
Load Balancer and Server Load Balancer Plus IP is 1.2.3.4):
http://1.2.3.4/config/current.slb
It is strongly suggested that the configuration file be downloaded and
made available to 3COM Technical Support for the resolution of issues
relating to the Server Load Balancer and Server Load Balancer Plus.
Resetting Unit
Settings
You can reset the Server Load Balancer’s settings using the Web Interface
or CLI. The following describes what happens in a non-redundant and
redundant configuration:
Non-Redundant Configuration
In a non-redundant configuration the primary IP address, subnet mask
and default router settings are preserved.
