Initially Configuring a Device

Accessing the
CLI
The command-line interface (CLI) is the primary user interface used to
configure, monitor, and maintain the AT-S230-10GP switch. The user
interface allows you to directly execute CLI commands.

The initial configuration of a device varies by platform. This document
provides configuration information for the listed devices.
After initially configuring and connecting the AT-S230-10GP switch to the
network, you can configure the device by using the remote access
method, such as Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH), to access the CLI or by
using the configuration method provided on the switch, such as Security
Device Manager.
To access the CLI interface, establish Ethernet or serial connectivity to the
switch.
To connect by Ethernet, open a command prompt window and type:
telnet <switchip> (where <switchip> is the IP address of the switch)
Note
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.1.
At the login prompt, type manager for the username and friend for the
password. The switch will respond with "Managed switch configuration
CLI ready".
