Configuring Basic Networking Using the wiz Command
The following procedures require a hardware connection already made between the KVM/net’s console port and the COM port of a computer.
To Log in to the KVM/net Through the Console
From your terminal emulation application, log in to the console port as root.
KVM/net login: root
Password: cyclades
As shown above the default password is “cyclades.” If the password has been changed from the default, use the new password.
To Change the Password Through the Console
If the default password “cyclades” is still in use, change the root password.
Note: Changing the default password closes a security hole that could be easily exploited.

At the prompt, enter n to change the defaults.

Note: DHCP is enabled by default. It relies on a DHCP server known to the KVM/net. Because a DHCP server may assign a different IP address every time the KVM/net reboots, when DHCP is enabled, you need to find out the DHCP assigned IP address using the ifconfig command after you logged in to the KVM/net directly.
