Switch Memory Allocation
The following table provides details on default memory allocation for the
Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300 switches. You can modify the amount of memory
allocated by using different allocation templates with the command line
interface (CLI).
Initialize the Switch with
Express Setup
The switch can operate without an IP address assigned to it. However, without
an IP address, your switch will run as an unmanaged switch, and is limited to
using only the status indicators on the switch front panel for diagnostics. We
recommend that you run the Express Setup program to enter the switch initial
IP information.
1. While the Setup status indicator flashes green, start an Internet browser
session on the personal computer.
The switch prompts you for the default switch username and password.
2. Leave the username field blank.
3. Enter the default switch password, ‘switch’.
The Express Setup dialog box automatically appears.
4. If the window does not appear, do the following:
• enter the URL of a well-known website in your browser to be sure
the browser is working correctly.
Your browser will then automatically be directed to the Express
Setup Web page.
• verify that any proxy settings or pop-up blockers are disabled on your
browser.
