Note
9.
• An IPv4 management IP address.
The management center interface is preconfigured to accept an IP4 address assigned by DHCP.
Consult with your system administrator to determine what IP address your DHCP has been configured
to assign to the management center MAC address. In scenarios where no DHCP is available, the
management center interface uses the IPv4 address 192.168.45.45.
• A network mask and a default gateway (if not using DHCP).
• IP address: 192.168.45.2
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.45.1
The management center compares your password against a password cracking dictionary that
checks not only for many English dictionary words but also other character strings that could
be easily cracked with common password hacking techniques. For example, the initial
configuration script may reject passwords such as "abcdefg" or "passw0rd".
