You have physical access to an Aruba CX-Switch with unknown/lost credentials. What are the possible steps to rebuild the credentials? (Select two.)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, E

To regain access to an Aruba CX switch when credentials are unknown or lost, one can press and hold the clear button, then power cycle the switch to reset the password. Additionally, using the boot profile 0 at the boot loader menu can be used to bypass the current startup configuration, which may include the unknown credentials.

I bet the Aruba engineers had a good laugh coming up with that 'one-time password' option. Like anyone's going to fall for that!

Wait, so we can just hold down buttons and power cycle the switch to reset the credentials? That's way easier than I expected!

Ugh, I hate it when I forget my switch credentials. At least these answers give me a few ways to get back in without too much hassle.

Hmm, I'm not sure about D. Calling Aruba support for a one-time password sounds a bit sketchy. I'd stick with the physical button options.

I don't think calling support is necessary if we can reset it using the console and clear button.

But what about calling Aruba support for a one-time password? Could that be an option too?
