About Vertiv
The Vertiv records here run across the Liebert, RPC- and Avocent lines. The entries are logged as rack power distribution units, uninterruptible power supplies and KVM switches and serial consoles. They cover more than one level of access — admin, user and read-only.
Reaching the login page
Point a browser at whatever your computer reports as its default gateway. On Windows that is the Default Gateway line from ipconfig; on macOS, Network settings shows it under the active connection.
What the Vertiv defaults look like
admin is the username on 2 of the 10 entries. One entry asks for no username at all. One model shipped with no password at all.
Where one is set, (set at setup) comes up most often, on 2 entries. There are 7 different passwords across the Vertiv set, so check your exact model rather than assuming. 2 of them are reached over a protocol that puts the password on the wire in clear text, so work from a machine on the same wired network rather than across the internet, and change the password once you are in.
If the Vertiv password has already been changed
There is a recessed reset button on the back or underneath that needs a straightened paperclip. Hold it in for thirty seconds with the unit powered on. Let go when the lights change pattern, and give it a couple of minutes to come back up.
A reset clears more than the password. The Wi-Fi name and key go back to what is printed on the label, port forwards and firewall rules are discarded, and any static addressing is lost. Photograph the settings pages first — it takes two minutes and saves an evening.
