Basic Configuration

Console Connection

The CLI program provides two different command levels — normal
access level (Normal Exec) and privileged access level (Privileged Exec).
The commands available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of
those available at the Privileged Exec level and allow you to only display
information and use basic utilities. To fully configure switch parameters,
you must access the CLI at the Privileged Exec level.
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords.
The switch has a default user name and password for each level. To log
into the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using the default user name and
password, perform these steps:
1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The "User Access
Verification" procedure starts.
2. At the Username prompt, enter "admin."
3. At the Password prompt, also enter "admin." (The password
characters are not displayed on the console screen.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the "Console#" prompt
indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.

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.
