5. QUICK START UP
The CLI Quick Start up details procedures to quickly become acquainted with the software.
5.1 Quick Starting the Switch
1. Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows
access to the software locally or from a remote workstation. The device must be configured with IP
information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
2. Turn the Power ON.
3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is called
the default mode.
4. When the prompt asks for operator login, execute the following steps:
▫
Type
the
word
"admin"
in the login area. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands
require administrator account rights, we suggest logging into an administrator account.
▫
Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.
▫
Press the enter key two times.
▫
The CLI User EXEC prompt will be displayed.
▫
Use
"enable"
to switch to the Privileged EXEC mode from User EXEC.
▫
Use
"configure"
to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC.
▫
Use
"exit"
to return to the previous mode.
