UserName:

Press Enter in both the Username and Password fields. Then access will be given to enter commands after the

command prompt DES-3810-28:admin#.

There is no initial username or password. Leave the Username and Password fields blank.

NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. At least one Admin-level user

account must be created for the Switch.

Connecting to the Management Port

The front panel of the Switch features an out-of-band Management port. The port is an RJ-45 port so it can be easily

connected to a notebook computer using a standard Ethernet cable. Connect to the port for out-of-band management

using a web browser or Telnet command prompt interface. The Management port is enabled by default, so it can be

used for the first time connection to the Switch.

To use the Management port, use an Ethernet cable to connect the port to the Ethernet interface of a computer used

for Switch management. The default IP address of the Management port is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0, make sure the computer used for Switch management has a nonconflicting IP address in the

192.168.0.x subnet.

The IP settings or enabled status of the Management port can be changed through the console port, or through the

web-based Switch management interface. To change the configuration of the Management port, use the command:

config out_band_ipif {ipaddress <network_address> | state [enable | disable] | gateway <ipaddr>}

To view the status or IP settings, use the command:

show out_band_ipif

To change settings for the out-of-band Management port in the web interface, use the following path:

Management > Out of Band Management Settings

The switches do not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to

create user accounts. Logging in using a predefined administrator-level user name will give the user privileged access

to the Switch's management software.

After the initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch,

and record the passwords for future reference.
