You can configure your OmniAccess
512 through the User Interface (
UI
). To
enter the UI, type
ui
at the
CLI
prompt
(
->
) and press
<Enter>
. The
UI
prompt
(
/
=>

you are in
UI
mode. From here, you
can type
?
and press
<Enter>
to view
the Main Menu.
For more information on using the
UI
,
refer to the
OmniAccess 512 User
Manual
.
To return to
CLI
mode from
UI
mode,
type either
cli
or
exit
at the
UI
prompt
(
/

and press
<Enter>
.
4. Set up a Password
Before you begin configuring your switch, you should
change the password for the
admin
login account. The
admin
login account provides full access to all switch
management functions.
The factory default password for the
admin
account is
switch
. Use the following procedure to change the
password for the
admin
account:
a. Type
password admin <
old_password
>
<
new_password
>
at the
CLI
prompt and press
<Enter>
. For example, to change the factory
default password (
switch
) to a new password
(
lahaina
), enter the following:
->
password admin switch lahaina
b. No confirmation message will appear onscreen.
Only the system prompt (
->
) will appear.

Important Note
♦
To create an all-numeric password (for
example,
7654321
), you
must
enter
quotation marks before and after the
password
7654321
.
All new passwords take effect at your next login
session.
♦
Note
♦
If the switch will be managed via
SNMP
, refer to your switch’s user
manual for instructions on setting
SNMP
passwords.
