Summit24e3 Switch Installation and User Guide 29
During the POST, all ports are temporarily disabled, the port LED is off, and the MGMT LED flashes.
The MGMT LED flashes until the switch successfully passes the POST.
If the switch passes the POST, the MGMT LED blinks at a slow rate (1 blink per second). If the switch
fails the POST, the MGMT LED shows a solid amber light.
NOTE
For more information on the LEDs, see Chapter 1, “Summit24e3 Switch Overview”.
Logging In for the First Time
After the Summit24e3 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 manually configure the IP settings, perform the following 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:
login: admin
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.
NOTE
For more information on switch security, see Chapter 4, “Accessing the Switch”.
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, Summit24e3) 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, refer to the ExtremeWare Software User Guide.
7 When you are finished using the facility, logout of the switch by typing
logout
