Description

Use the Remote Access Configuration page to set up a remote account that Cisco support personnel can use to access the system for a specified period of time. If the account duration limit expires, Cisco support can not access the remote support account.

When you establish a remote account, the system generates a pass phrase.

Follow this procedure to complete the remote account setup:

  1. Call Cisco support and provide them with the remote support account name and pass phrase.

  2. Cisco support enters the pass phrase into a decoder program that generates a password from the pass phrase.

  3. Cisco support logs into the remote support account on the customer system by using the decoded password.

If you have not already created a remote account, when you navigate to the Remote Access Configuration page you can create a new account.
