To manually configure the IP settings:

1 Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the console port on the router.

2 At the terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.

3 At the login prompt, enter the default user name admin to log on with administrator privileges. For

example:

Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.

4 The system will ask a series of questions about the default management settings, which allow all

forms of management access for convenience in setting the initial configuration. Answer each

question based on the level of security needed for the particular management access type.

NOTE

For more information about logging in to the switch and configuring switch management access, see the

ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

5 At the password prompt, press [Return].

The default user name admin has no password assigned to it. When you have successfully logged on

to the system, the command line prompt displays the system name (for example,

e4g200>) in the

prompt.

For more information about how to assign a specific system name, see the ExtremeXOS

Concepts Guide.

Your changes take effect immediately.

7 Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next system reboot by typing:

save

The configuration is saved to the configuration database of the router.

For more information about saving configuration changes, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.
