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.
NOTE
: Press Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at any time to
force the console program in the Switch to refresh the console screen.

NOTE
: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. It is recommended to
create at least one Admin-level user account for the Switch.
Password Protection
The Switch does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to create user
accounts. Once logged in using a predefined administrator-level user name, users will have privileged access to the Switch's
management software.
After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch, and
record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, follow these steps:
At the CLI login prompt, enter
create account admin
followed by the
<user name>
and press the Enter key.
