Configuring the Switch Using the Console Interface
Console Usage Conventions
The console interface makes use of the following conventions:
1.
Items in
<
angle brackets
>
can be toggled between several
choices using the space bar.
2.
Items in
[
square brackets
]
can be changed by typing in a
new value. You can use the backspace and delete keys to
erase characters behind and in front of the cursor.
3.
The up and down arrow keys, the left and right arrow keys,
the tab key and the backspace key, can be used to move
between selected items.
4.
Items in
UPPERCASE
are commands. Moving the
selection to a command and pressing Enter will execute
that command, e.g.
APPLY
, etc.
Please note that the command
APPLY
only applies for the
current session. Use
Save Changes
from the main menu for
permanent changes.
Save Changes
enters the current switch
configuration into non-volatile ram, and then reboots the switch.
First Time Connecting To The Switch
The Switch supports user-based security that can allow you to
prevent unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or
changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the
Switch.
Note:
The passwords used to access the Switch are case-
sensitive; therefore, “S” is not the same as “s.”
When you first connect to the Switch, you will be presented
with the first login screen (shown below).
