4-1-1. Login
The command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface. User can access
the CLI through either a direct serial connection to the device or a Telnet session.
The default values of the managed switch are listed below:
Username: admin
Password: admin
After you login successfully, the prompt will be shown as “
#
“ if you are the
first login person and your authorization is administrator; otherwise it may show “
$
“.
See the following two figures. The former means you behave as an administrator
and have the access right of the system. As to the latter, it means you behave as a
guest and are only allowed to view the system without the permission to do any
setting for this switch.
