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 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.
How to log in
To log in you must first connect the switch to a terminal or PC. You can do this
via the RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0). A terminal cable suitable for use with
ASYN0 is supplied with each switch.
Use the supplied terminal cable, or a cable you have made following the
instructions in “Useful Cables” on page 19, and 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
How to configure emulation software is described in “How to Use Windows
Terminal and Windows Hyperterminal” on page 11.
Ensure that any power switches are in the on position and that the switch is
receiving power.
After the switch has booted, the login prompt appears. If the login prompt does
not 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. Now use the Command Line Interface
(CLI) to configure the switch.
Warning Change the password as soon as possible because a manager account
left with the default password is a serious security risk. Remember the new
password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.
