Now that the EX4600 is powered on, let's do some initial configuration to get it up and running on the
network. It's simple to provision and manage the EX4600 using the CLI.
Plug and Play
The EX4600 switch ships with factory-default settings that enable plug-and-play operation. These
settings load as soon as you power on the switch.
Customize the Basic Configuration
You can easily customize the factory-default configuration using CLI commands. You can revert to the
factory-default configuration whenever you want.
Have the following information handy before you begin customizing switch settings:
• Hostname
• Root authentication password
• Management port IP address
• Default gateway IP address
• (Optional) SNMP read community, location, and contact information
1. Verify that the serial port settings for your laptop or desktop PC are set to the default:
• Baud Rate—9600
• Flow Control—None
