Remote Lab Access – Single Switch

Access Instructions and Sample Commands to Practice

Welcome to Extreme Networks® Remote Lab 4. If this PuTTY Security Alert message appears,
Access – Single Switch! select Yes.
There are four Extreme Networks single switches available
to you on a first come, first served basis.

To access the single switch remote lab access, you can use
either PuTTY* or another commercial alternative to access
the switch.

Making a SSH Connection Using PuTTY

1. PuTTY runs as an executable application which can be
downloaded from the PuTTY Download Page (http://
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/down-
load.html). PuTTY is a third party tool and is not pro-
vided by Extreme Networks.
2. Once you have this application, open it. A console window is presented with the prompt to
login as:
3. Complete the following steps:
Host Name (or IP address)’: 207.179.9.156
5. Choose to login as guest1, guest2, guest3, or guest4
Select Connection type: ‘SSH’ and verify Port 22
using the credentials displayed in Table 1.
is entered.
Click the ‘Open’ button. Table 1
Switch Number IP Address/SSH Port 22 Login as: Password:
Switch 1 207.179.9.156:port22 guest1:port1 guest1
Switch 2 207.179.9.156:port22 guest2:port2 guest2
Switch 3 207.179.9.156:port22 guest3:port3 guest3
Switch 4 207.179.9.156:port22 guest4:port4 guest4

Password: guest2

6. After you enter the password, press the Enter Key two
or three times until the login prompt appears.
Remember: Each switch is available on a first come, first
served basis. If you try to login as guest1:port1 with pass-
word guest1 and the console window instantly disap-
pears it means someone is on switch1. Start again at step
2 and try guest2:port2 and so on, until the window remains
open and the next login prompt appears.
This login prompt provides access to the command line
interface of the switch.
When you see the command line prompt, X450a-24t.1 #,
you can begin entering commands on the switch. There is
a list of sample commands later on in this document for
you to try.
When you are finished please close the connection to
the switch.

Please answer these questions about the
security settings you would like to use.
Telnet is enabled by default. Telnet is
unencrypted and has been the target of
security exploits in the past.
Would you like to disable Telnet? [y/N]: Yes
Disabling telnet access...done
SNMP access is enabled by default. SNMP
uses no encryption, SNMPv3 can be configured
to eliminate this problem.
Would you like to disable SNMP? [y/N]: Yes
Disabling all SNMP access...done
All ports are enabled by default. In some
secure applications, it maybe more desirable

3. Answer NO to the following failsafe prompts while play-
ing in the sandbox:
Changing the default failsafe account user-
name and password is highly recommended. If
you choose to do so, please remember the
username and password as this information
cannot be recovered by Extreme Networks.
Would you like to change the failsafe ac-
count username and password now? [y/N]: No
Would you like to permit failsafe account
access via the management port? [y/N]: No
Since you have chosen less secure manage-
ment methods, please remember to increase
the security of your network by taking the
following actions:
* change your admin password
* change your failsafe account username and
password
4. DO NOT make any changes to the login credentials as
suggested above while playing on the switch! Do not do
anything to disable/impair the switches’ use by others!
