The console port terminal‐emulation requirements are as follows:
 Default baud rate = 9,600 bps
 Character size = 8 characters
 Parity = none
 Stop bits = 1
 Data bits = 8
 Flow control = none
If the switch is connected to a network that employs DHCP, you can also access the
switch CLI through the RJ‐45 management port. This port uses Ethernet
communications and can be accessed using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser via the
IP address provided by the network's DHCP server.
When the switch starts, it performs initial self tests, and then prompts for the
password. For example:
Memory Test ................................
Production Mode
PPCBoot 0.0.0.10 (new flash)
Memory Test (0x00) .............................PASSED

Password:
At the prompt, type the switch password and press Enter. The default is admin.
Note: If the switch has already started prior to your connection, you may need to
press Enter to display the password prompt.
The switch firmware contains default configuration files that are loaded at the
factory. When the switch first initializes, the default configuration files are loaded
into the active switch memory. The default settings allow the switch to perform
basic functions with minimal effort by the system administrator.
Custom configuration settings made by the administrator will override the default
settings and can be saved so that they are retained if the switch is rebooted.
However, if desired, you can revert the custom configuration settings to the original
factory defaults. The original factory default configuration files are a permanent
part of the firmware; you cannot deleted them or change their original definitions.
