After the BlackDiamond 6800 switch has completed the POST, it is operational. Once
operational, you can log in to the switch and configure an IP address for the default
VLAN (named default).
To manually configure the IP settings, perform the following steps:
1
Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the
MSM64i console port.
2
At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
3
At the login prompt, enter the default user name admin to log on with administrator
privileges. For example:
login: admin
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.
For more information on switch security, refer to the
ExtremeWare Software User
Guide
