Managing The Switch For The First Time - D-Link DGS-3427 User Manual

Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on the console screen. This is where the user will enter
commands to perform all the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name and a
password. Upon the initial connection, there is no user name or password and therefore just press enter twice to access the
command line interface.

Managing the Switch for the First Time

The Switch supports user-based security that can allow prevention of unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or
changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the Switch via out-if-band console connection.
NOTE: The passwords used to access the Switch are case-sensitive; for example,
"S" is not the same as "s."
Upon initial connection to the Switch, the login screen appears (see example below).

screen.
