Logging In for the First Time
After the 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 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
in with administrator privileges. For example:
login: admin
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch
functions.
4 At the password prompt, press [Return].
The default name, admin, has no password assigned. When
you have successfully logged in, the command-line prompt
displays the name of the switch (for example,
Switch480T )
in its prompt.
5 Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN default .
Type
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. Type
save
7 When you have finished using the facility, log out of the
switch by typing
logout
