First Time Connecting To The Switch; Password Protection - D-Link DES-3028 User Manual

DES-3028 DES-3028P DES-3052 DES-3052P Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Managed Switch

First Time Connecting to the Switch

The Switch supports user-based security that can allow you to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or changing
its settings. This section tells how to log onto the Switch.
When you first connect to the Switch, you will be presented with the first login screen.
NOTE: Press Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at any time to
force the console program in the Switch to refresh the console screen.
Press Enter in both the Username and Password fields. You will be given access to the command prompt DES-3028P:4# shown
below:
There is no initial username or password. Leave the Username and Password fields blank.
NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. It is recommended to
create at least one Admin-level user account for the Switch.

Password Protection

The Switch does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to create user
accounts. Once logged in using a predefined administrator-level user name, users will have privileged access to the Switch's
management software.
After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch, and
record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, follow these steps:
At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user name> and press the Enter key.
•
NOTE: The passwords used to access the Switch are case-sensitive; therefore, "S" is
not the same as "s."
