3. Operations Required for Initial Installation

3.2 Overview of initial setup operations
This section provides an overview of the operations required when a Switch is initially
installed.
For detailed operations, see the subsequent sections.
NOTE
The operations below are the minimum requirements when a switch is installed.
For operations after the initial operations, see the manuals listed in 4.1 Detailed
operations of the Switch.
(1) Login
Log in to the Switch. Use the initial user ID, which is operator (Because a password is not
set for the operator user, you can log in without authentication).
(2) Setting the administrator mode password
Use the enable command to specify a password for entering administrator mode. In the
initial installation, this password has not been set. To ensure security, set a password for
administrator mode.
(3) Adding a user ID and deleting the operator user ID
Create a new user ID.
If you will no longer use the operator login user ID, which is set in the initial installation as
the login user name, ALAXALA Networks Corporation recommends that you delete it after
creating a new login user with the rmuser command. Doing so strengthens security.
(4) Setting the time
Set the time zone and the time. When a Switch is initially installed, the time has not been
set. Because the time is important information for collecting failure information, set the
exact time.
NOTE
After the time has been set for the switch, the correct time is maintained for 10 days
after the switch has been turned off. After 10 days, you must set the time again the
next time you turn on the switch.
