Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches
1) Log in through the Ethernet port
Correctly configure the IP address of a VLAN interface on a Switch (using the ip
address command in VLAN interface view).
Add the port (that connects to a terminal) to this VLAN (using port command in
VLAN view).
If the terminal and the interface through which the terminal connects to the Switch
locate in the same LAN, configure the IP address in the same segment as that of
the terminal, otherwise, the terminal and the Switch must be reachable between
each other.
2) Log in through the management Ethernet interface
Correctly configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface on the
Switch (using the ip address command in M-ethernet0/0/0 interface view).
If the terminal and the management Ethernet interface of the Switch locate in the
same LAN, configure the IP address in the same segment as that of the terminal,
otherwise, the terminal and the Switch must be reachable between each other.
Log in to the Switch through Telnet and perform the following configuration.
Step 1: Authenticate the Telnet user via the Console port before the user logs in by
Telnet.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the
switch. If a user logs in via the Telnet without password, he will see the prompt "Login
password has not been set !".
