Viewing IP Information via the Console Port
You are now ready to view the automatically allocated IP information
using the command line interface.
1
Connect your Switch to the network using an Ethernet cable. As soon as
a network connection is made the Switch begins the automatic IP
configuration process.
The automatic IP configuration process usually completes within one
minute.
2
The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch
detects a connection to its console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times
until it starts.
3
At the login and password prompts, enter
admin
as your user name and
enter your password at the password prompt (or just press Return if you
have not yet set a password). If you have logged on correctly, the
top-level menu of the command line interface is displayed as shown in
the example in Figure 11.

for you to set up your chosen management method. See “Methods of
Managing a Switch” on page 39.
