Xylan Default Router Passwords
This page lists 3 confirmed default credentials for Xylan equipment. The pairing you are most likely to need is admin with switch.
Entries are reachable over telnet and multi. 2 of these entries use a protocol that sends the password in clear text, so use them on a trusted network and change the password once you are in.

About Xylan
All 3 Xylan records we hold are for the OMNISWITCH.
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 Xylan defaults look like
admin is the username on 2 of the 3 entries. Where one is set, switch comes up most often, on 3 entries. 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 Xylan 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.
