All passwords are netdisco, check the netdisco.conf and netdisco_apache.conf if you want to change the db password. Update /etc/rc.conf to customize network settings (enable sendmail if you need system notifications). At the minimum, you need an IP address, DHCP is good for testing, but a static is recommended. Here is an overview of rc.conf, network_interfaces has details on the configuration, and you need defaultrouter. If going with a static, also update /etc/resolv.conf for dns settings and /etc/hosts could be updated as well. Update the settings in /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco.conf, specifically snmp strings. The webgui user is named admin. (Optional) Add a user to the Netdisco application that will be the administrator account. (step 9.4) start at step 12 in the Install document : http://netdisco.org/install.html#12__discover_a_device_in_netdisco recommended: change passwords for root, admin, netdisco, netdisco user on database (named netdisco) |
