Switch Engine is the default operating system for the 5420 Series. If you want to run
Fabric Engine, see

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
Management Console
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, 5420F-24T-4XE-SwitchEngine#) 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.

The switch serial number is displayed, as highlighted in the following example. Make
