ONFIGURATION

The onboard configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from
any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by
any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above), or from a network computer using
network management software such as EliteView.
Note: The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration
functions. To access the full range of SNMP management
functions, you must use SNMP-based network management
software, such as EliteView.
Basic Configuration
Console Connection
The CLI program provides two different command levels — normal
access level (Normal Exec) and privileged access level (Privileged Exec).
The commands available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of
those available at the Privileged Exec level and allow you to only display
information and use basic utilities. To fully configure switch parameters,
you must access the CLI at the Privileged Exec level.
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords.
The switch has a default username and password for each level. To log into
the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using the default user name and
password, perform these steps:
1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The “User Access
Verification” procedure starts.
2. At the Username prompt, enter “admin.”
3. At the Password prompt, also enter “admin.” (The password
characters are not displayed on the console screen.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#” prompt
indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.
