Connecting to the switch over SSH
The switch supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure and control the
switch over the network through the SSH program. You can use the CLI to perform many basic
network management functions. In addition, you can configure the switch for management through
an SNMP-based network management system. SNMP v1, v2, and v3 are supported.
If you know the IP address for the switch and you have an existing network connection, you can use
the SSH program from an external management station or the CMM to access and control the
switch. The management station and the switch must be on the same IP subnet. If you have to
obtain the IP address for the switch or establish a network connection, contact your system or
network administrator.
To connect to the switch over the SSH interface, complete the following steps.
1. Open an SSH connection to the switch and enter the IP address for the switch, then press
Enter.
2. Log in to the switch using the following default user name and password settings:
User ID: admin
Password: password
NOTE
The passwords that are used to access the switch are case-sensitive. To increase system security,
change the password after you log in for the first time. For more information, see the
Network OS
Administrator’s Guide .
