Connecting to the Switch for the first time
The DGS-3620 Series Switch supports user-based security that prevents unauthorized users from accessing the
switch or changing its settings. This section explains how to log into the DGS-3620 Series Switch from an out-of-band
Management port connection.
Once you have connected to the DGS-3620 Series Switch, the following screen appears (see Figure 4-2).

NOTE
: The first user automatically gets Administrative privileges. At least one Admin-level user account
must be created for the DGS-3620 Series Switch.
Connecting to the Management Port
The front panel of the DGS-3620 Series Switch features an out-of-band RJ-45 Management port which can easily
connect to a notebook. Connect to the out-of-bound management console using a web browser or Telnet command
prompt interface. This is the default login interface, and is the tool you can use when connecting to the DGS-3620
Series Switch for the first time.
To use the Management port, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a computer and the other to the switch. The
default IP address of the Management port is 192.168.0.1, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Make sure that the
computer being used for Switch management has a nonconflicting IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
The IP settings or enabled status of the Management port can be changed through the console port, or through the
web-based Switch management interface. To change the configuration of the Management port, use the command:
config out_band_ipif {ipaddress <network_address> | state [enable | disable] | gateway <ipaddr>}
To view the status or IP settings, use the command:
show out_band_ipif
To change settings for the out-of-band Management port in the web interface, use the following path:
Management > Out of Band Management Settings
