5.2.2 Overview of operations when installing a Switch
This section provides an overview of the operations required when a Switch is
initially installed.
The operations below are the minimum required operations when a switch is
installed.
For details about other operations, see the manuals listed in
5.3 Other Operations.
(1) Login
Log in to the Switch. Use the default user ID operator. (Since no password is set for
the operator, there is no authentication process for logging in.)
(2) Administrator password setting
Set the administrator password. Initially, no password is set for the administrator
account. In order to enhance the security level, setting the administrator password is
highly recommended.
(3) Changing the user ID and setting a login password
Change the user ID operator to a different name, and then set a login password.
(4) Setting the time
Set the time zone and the time. The clock is not set initially. Because the time is
important information for collecting failure information, set the exact time.
The time setting for the Switch is retained for about ten days after being shut down.
After more than ten days, the clock needs to be reset when the device is turned on
the next time.
