Greetings,
LONG VERSION:
I have recently inherited the management of an undocumented network (failed=
FTTH provider) which utilizes World Wide Packets' LightningEdge 427 (16 po=
rt GBIC switch) and 311v (24/4 port Ethernet/GBIC switch) switches. We've =
swapped out a 427 so that we can rebuild it, push it back into the network,=
and repeat, until everything is under our control.
Trouble is, the lack of documentation extends to passwords, the nature of w=
hich preclude any hope of getting in to the switch without resetting to def=
aults. Fortunately, I can do this without issue, since it is not in active=
service.
I reset a spare 311v to defaults, but cannot log in to it with any of the l=
ogical default passwords. I can only assume the same will be true of the 4=
27.
Sadly, it seems World Wide Packets is now owned by a new company, who will =
not provide simple documentation without a full support contract. I got th=
em to grudgingly provide the documentation for the customer premise devices=
(LightningEdge 47's), but my pleas for the switch documentation (and the m=
anagement software that I believe WWP provided for free) has fallen on deaf=
ears. I don't have the budget to blow on a support contract just to get o=
ne default password (Who would?).
SHORT VERSION:
Does anyone know the default passwords for World Wide Packets 427 and 311v =
switches?
I will most definitely owe anyone with an answer a beer or four next time t=
hey visit Seattle. By the way, the default username/password for the Light=
ningEdge 47 and other WWP CPEs is su/pureethernet. Hopefully that will sav=
e someone else some pain. :-)
Best Regards,
Nathan Eisenberg
