Logging In for the First Time
After the Summit 400-48t completes 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 configure the IP settings manually, follow these steps:
1 Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the 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, see “Network Login” on page 150.
4 At the password prompt, press [Return].
The default name, admin, has no password assigned. When you have successfully logged on to the
switch, the command-line prompt displays the name of the switch (for example, Summit 400-48t) in
its prompt.
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 switch reboot, by using
the following command:
save configuration {primary | secondary}
For more information on saving configuration changes, see “Saving Configuration Changes” on
page 319.
7 When you are finished using the facility, logout of the switch by typing
logout
After two incorrect login attempts, the Summit 400-48t locks you out of the login facility. You must
wait a few minutes before attempting to log in again.
Installing Optional Features
Extreme Networks offers two hardware products that extend the capabilities of the Summit 400-48t. The
Summit XEN Card is an additional card that adds one or two 10 Gigabit uplink modules through the
back of the Summit 400-48t. The Extreme External Power System (EPS) allows you to add a redundant
power supply to the Summit 400 switch to protect against a power supply failure. Both of these
products are additional offerings and available from your sales representative.
Before installing any optional features, be sure to check the Installation Notes provided with the feature
to determine the latest installation process or limitations.
