Accessing the switch for the first time
When the switch is powered on for the first time, you can access and manage it from the Web
interface or CLI interface.
Managing the switch from the Web interface
Using the default account and password for login
The switch is set with factory-default Web login information. When the switch is powered on, it will
first obtain an IP address through DHCP. If the switch cannot obtain an IP address through DHCP, it
will use its default IP address.
The default Web interface login information is as follows:
•
Username admin.
•
Password admin.
•
IP address of VLAN-interface 1 on the switch: IP address obtained through DHCP or
192.168.0.233/24.
To log in to the Web interface (This example uses the switch's default IP address):
1.
Use a twisted-pair cable to connect a PC to an Ethernet port on the switch.
By default, all ports on the switch belong to VLAN 1.
2.
Configure an IP address (except the default IP address of the device) in subnet 192.168.0.0/24
for the PC, such as 192.168.0.10.
Make sure the PC and the switch can reach each other.
3.
Start a browser on the PC, enter http://192.168.0.233 in the address bar, and then press Enter
to access the Web login page.
4.
Enter the username and password, and then click Login.
NOTE:
• The PC mentioned in this section is used for initial switch configuration, which does not have to
be a Web network management terminal. A Web network management terminal is a PC used for
Web-based switch management, which can access the switch if only a route to the switch is
available.
• If you directly close the browser after you have logged in, you will not be logged out automatically.
To log out, click Logout in the upper left corner of the Web interface.
Changing the default Web login password
As a best practice for security purposes, change the default Web login password immediately after
you log in to the Web interface for the first time.
To change the default Web login password, click
interface.
