Switch Start-up
This section outlines the log in and start-up procedures for your switch.
Although the switch will perform basic switching operations without being
configured, you will need to go through these log in and start-up procedures if
you wish to configure the switch and access its full layer 3 switching
capabilities.
Before you can log in, the switch’s chassis must have at least one power supply
unit installed and operational, with either a power supply unit or fan only
module installed in the other bay.
To log In
To log in you must first connect the switch to a terminal or PC. This can be
done using the RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0). A terminal cable suitable for
use with ASYN0 is supplied with each switch.
Using the supplied terminal cable, or a cable you have made by following
the instructions in “Useful Cables” on page 16, connect your terminal or
PC to ASYN0 on the switch.
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to:
• Baud rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: Hardware
See “Using Windows Terminal and Windows Hyperterminal” on page 8
for more information on configuring emulation software.
Ensure that any power switches are in the On position and that the switch
is receiving power.
After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt
doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and
the password is “friend”.
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.
Log in: manager
Password: friend
The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the
switch using the command line interface.
Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with
the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure that you remember
the new password as there is no way to retrieve the password if it is lost.
Use the following command to change the account password:
set password
