Logging In for the First Time
After your switch has completed all power on self-tests (POSTs), it is operational. When the switch is
operational, you can log in and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named default).
To manually configure the IP settings:
1 Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the MSM.
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.
NOTE
For more information about logging in to the switch and configuring switch management access, see the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.
4 At the password prompt, press [Return].
The default user name admin has no password assigned to it. When you have successfully logged on
to the system, the command line prompt displays the system name (for example,
BlackDiamond10808>
) in its prompt.
NOTE
For more information about how to assign a specific system name, see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.
5 Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN default by typing:
config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 255.255.255.0
Your changes take effect immediately.
6 Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next system reboot by typing:
save
The configuration is saved to the configuration database of the MSM modules in the switch.
NOTE
For more information about saving configuration changes, see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.
7 When you are finished with these tasks, log out of the switch by typing:
logout
