Log in to the device
You can log in to a device through Telnet, SSH, or the Console port, or from the Web interface.
•
Telnet/SSH login—Log in to the device through a remote connection to configure or manage
the device.
•
Console port login—Log in to the device locally. This method is the basis for configuring the
other login methods.
•
Web interface access—Log in to the device from the Web interface to perform basic device
configuration and management tasks.
Log in through Telnet or SSH
To log in to the device through Telnet or SSH, use a terminal emulator program, such as
HyperTerminal or PuTTY, to establish a connection to the device.
The device is enabled with Telnet and SSH services by default. Both the default login username and
password are admin.
Configure Telnet login
1.
Use Telnet to access the default IP address 192.168.0.100.
2.
Enter the default username and password as prompted. For security purposes, change the
login password after successful login.
Configure SSH login
1.
Use SSH to access the default IP address 192.168.0.100.
2.
Enter the default username and password as prompted. For security purposes, change the
login password after successful login.
Log in through the console port
About this task
Console port login is one of the basic device login methods. This method allows you to access the
device by using a console cable for system maintenance.
Prerequisites
Before logging in to the device through the console port, prepare the following tools:
•
Console cable—An eight-core copper cable with an RJ-45 connector at one end and a DB-9
connector at the other end.
•
Configuration terminal—A character terminal with an RS-232 interface or a PC.
NOTE:
• When you connect a PC to the device, first connect the DB-9 connector to the PC and then
connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port as a best practice.
