Initial Configuration
Initial configuration is performed via the device console port. By performing the initial
configuration, you can configure various management access methods. You can change the console port
mode or enable the remote access through available interfaces and control protocols.
The following initial configuration examples include the following settings:
1.
Creation of administrator account with the username 'admin' and the password 'pass' and the
maximum priority level 15.
2.
Configuration of the static IP address and the gateway address for the switch management
network.
3.
SNMP protocol management settings configuration.
4.
Configuration for obtaining IP address from DHCP server.
5.
SNMP protocol settings configuration
You can obtain configuration-essential parameters from the network administrator.
When configuration procedures are described, it is supposed that the switch has not been
configured before.
4.3.2.1
Creation of the Administrator Account
To ensure the secure login process, access passwords should be given to all the privileged
users.
Username and password are required for login during the device administration sessions. Use the
following commands to create a new system user or configure the username, password, or privilege level:
console(config)#
username
name
password
password
privilege {
1-15
}
Privilege level 1 allows to access the device, but denies its configuration. Privilege level 15
allows both the access and configuration of the device.
Example of commands for assigning
eltex
password for
admin
user and creation of
operator
user with
pass
password and the privilege level 1:
console>
enable
console#
configure
console(config)#
username
admin
password
eltex
console(config)#
username
operator
password
pass
privilege
1
console (config) #
exit
console#
