Accessing the
Interface
To access the command line interface, take the following steps:
1
Set up your network for command line interface management; for
more information, see “Setting Up Command Line Interface
Management” on page 3-6. The login sequence for the command line
interface begins as soon as a relevant Switch in the stack detects a
connection to its console port, or as soon as a Telnet session is started.
If the login sequence does not begin immediately, press the [Return]
key a few times until it does begin. If the sequence still does not begin,
see “Solving Problems That Occur When Using the Command Line
Interface” on page 8-5.
2
At the login and password prompts, enter your user name and
password:
■
If you have been assigned a user name and password, enter those
details.
■
If you are accessing the command line interface for the first time,
enter a default user name and password to match your access
requirements. The defaults are described in “Logging in as a Default
User” on page 3-9. If you are setting up the stack for management,
we suggest that you log in as
admin
(which has no default
password).
If you have logged on correctly, the top-level menu of the command
line interface is displayed as described in “About the Interface Menus”
on page 5-3. If you have not logged on correctly, the message
Incorrect password.
is displayed and the login sequence starts
again.
To prevent unauthorized configuration of the stack, we recommend
that you change the default passwords as soon as possible. To do this
using the command line interface, you need to log in as each default
user and then follow the steps described in “Changing Your Password”
on page 5-15.
