Logging In for the First Time

After the switch completes the POST, it is operational. Once operational, you can log in to the switch

and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named default).

To configure the IP settings manually, follow these steps:

1 Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the console port.

2 At your 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.

NOTE

For more information on switch security, see the ExtremeWare Software Users Guide.

4 At the password prompt, press [Return].

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

switch, the command-line prompt displays the name of the switch (for example, Summit200-24) in its

prompt.

5 Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN default by typing

config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 255.255.255.0

Your changes take effect immediately.

6 Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch reboot, by typing

save

NOTE

For more information on saving configuration changes, see the ExtremeWare Software User Guide.

7 When you are finished using the facility, logout of the switch by typing

logout

NOTE

After two incorrect login attempts, the switch locks you out of the login facility. You must wait a few

minutes before attempting to log in again.
