You are configuring a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch for the first time.
Which of the following is true about the default login?
- You can configure a short, trivial password at first boot and change it later.
- You will be required to configure an admin password before configuration.
- The default user is the network admin, and the password is password.
- The default user is the network admin, and the password is password.
When configuring a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch for the first time, you will be required to configure an admin password before configuration. This step in the configuration process is required and cannot be skipped by using the Ctrl-C keyboard combination. After you have successfully configured an admin password, you can enter setup mode by entering yes at the prompt.
The default user is the network admin; however, the default password is not password. When configuring a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch for the first time, the admin account is not configured with a password. By default, the network admin account is named admin. This account cannot be changed or deleted. However, the account password can and must be set at first boot.
You cannot configure a short, trivial password at first boot and change it later. If you attempt to configure a short, trivial password at boot, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series configuration script will reject the password.
You will not be automatically logged in as a low-level local user. When a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch boots for the first time, only one default account, named admin, exists on the switch. After you have configured a strong password for the admin account, you can create additional user accounts on the switch. However, the switch must be initially configured by using the admin account.
