Access to the console menu is controlled by a user name and password.
The default setting is “admin” for both the user name and password. To
log into the console menu, perform these steps:
1. Enter “admin” at the user name prompt.
2. Enter “admin” at the password prompt.
(The password characters are not displayed on the console screen.)
The session is opened and the Main Menu displays.
Setting Passwords
Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should
define a new user name and password, record them and put them
in a safe place.
A user name or password can consist of up to 15 alphanumeric characters
and are not case sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch,
set the user name and password as follows:
1. Open the console interface with the default user name and password
“admin” to access the Main Menu.
2. Navigate from the Main Menu to –
Switch Static Configuration, and then
Administration Configuration.
3. Select “Change Username” and press <Enter>.
• Select <Edit>, type in the new user name, and press <Enter>.
• Select <Save> and press Enter.
