Logging In For The First Time On Exos - Extreme Networks ExtremeSwitching 5520 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Activating and Verifying the Switch

Logging in for the First Time on EXOS

Extreme recommends onboarding your switch with ExtremeCloud™. Log in or create your XIQ
administrator account in order to select your switch operating system with XIQ at
extremecloudiq.com
ExtremeXOS is the default operating system for the 5520 Series. If you want to run VOSS, see
the Switch OS via the Bootloader Menu
on page 85.
Before logging in, verify that the switch LEDs are on (solid green or blinking green) and that it is
connected to a management console as described in
on page 82.
To perform the initial login and complete initial configuration tasks, follow these steps.
1. Using a terminal emulator such as PuTTY or TeraTerm, connect to the switch using the serial port
connection. You can also connect to the switch via telnet or SSH.
Be sure that your serial connection is set properly:
•
Baud rate: Baud rate: 115200
•
Data bits: 8
•
Stop bit: 1
2. At the management console, press [Enter] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
3. At the login prompt, log in using the default user name admin.
For example:
login: admin
When you have successfully logged on to the system, the command line prompt displays the system
name (for example, 5520-24T#) in its prompt. You are logged in with administrator privileges,
which gives you access to all switch functions.
4. Respond to the screen prompts to configure the level of security you need.
5. Enter show version.
The switch serial number is displayed, as highlighted in the following example. Make a note of this
number for future reference.
