Logging on to the Command Line Interface (CLI)
When you log into the CLI for the first time, you need to delete the factory IP address of
169.254.1.1/16 and assign a new IP address that is valid for your network. You can also disable
the Web interface if you are using stacking or for improved security. See the AlliedWare Plus
Version 2.2.4 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide for instructions on
how to enable secure HTTPs for the Web interface.
To log on to the CLI through the console port on the switch, do the following:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the management cable to the Console port on the switch.
The management cable is shipped with the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or PC with a terminal
emulator program.
3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:
— Baud rate: 9600
— Data bits: 8
—Parity: None
— Stop bits: 1
— Flow control: None
4. Press Enter.
You are prompted for a user name and password.
5. Enter “manager” for the username and “friend” for the password.
The local management session is started when the AlliedWare Plus command line prompt is
displayed.
6. To delete the current IP address and disable the Web interface, you can either delete the
startup configuration file (boot.cfg) and then reboot the switch or enter the commands
individually.
To delete the startup.cfg file and reboot the switch, enter the following commands:
awplus> enable
awplus# erase
Erase startup config? (y/n): y
awplus# reboot
To delete the current IP address and disable the Web interface, enter:
awplus> enable
