Log in
After the switch has booted, the log-in prompt appears. If the log-in
prompt doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time, it automatically creates an account
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and
the password is “friend”.
At the log-in prompt, enter the log-in name and password.
Login:
manager
Password:
friend
The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the
switch using the command line interface.
Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with
the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the
new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.
Use the following command to change the account password:
set password
