Setting Passwords
Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should define new passwords for
both default user names using the “username” command, record them and put them in a
safe place.
Passwords can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive. To
prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords as follows:
1. Open the console interface with the default user name and password “admin” to
access the Privileged Exec level.
2. Type “configure” and press <Enter>.
3. Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal Exec level, where
password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
4. Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the Privileged Exec level, where
password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
Note: ‘0’ specifies the password in plain text, ‘7’ specifies the password in encrypted form.
Setting an IP Address
You must establish IP address information for the stack to obtain management access
through the network. This can be done in either of the following ways:
Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and subnet mask. If
your management station is not in the same IP subnet as the switch, you will also need to
specify the default gateway router.
Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or DHCP address
allocation servers on the network.
Manual Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to specify a
default gateway that resides between this device and management stations that exist on
another network segment. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI
program.
