Usage Guidelines
You must be logged in as an administrator to enable Telnet.
If you are using IP without a BOOTP server, you must enter IP parameters for the switch for the Telnet
software to communicate with the device. To assign IP parameters to the switch, you must:
• Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.
• Assign an IP address and subnet mask to a VLAN.
The switch comes configured with a default VLAN named default. To use Telnet or an SNMP
network manager, you must have at least one VLAN on the switch, and it must be assigned an IP
address and subnet mask. IP addresses are always assigned to a VLAN. The switch can be assigned
multiple IP addresses.
