Accessing the Switch the First Time

With software version 11.2, ExtremeWare XOS adds to the security features offered on your switch.
When you take your switch from the box and set it up for the first time, you must connect to the
console to access the switch. You are prompted with an interactive script that specifically asks if you
want to disable Telnet and SNMP, so these will not be available on your switch at next reboot. This is
called the safe defaults mode.
Once you connect to the console and log into the switch, the screen displays several interactive
questions that lead you through configuring the management access that you want. You disable SNMP,
or Telnet access by using the interactive script (refer to
All ports are enabled in the factory default setting; you can choose to have all unconfigured ports
disabled on reboot using the interactive questions.
In addition, you can return to the safe defaults mode by issuing the following commands:
●
unconfigure switch all
●
configure safe-default-script

Resets all switch parameters (with the exception of defined
user accounts, and date and time information) to the

If you specify the keyword all, the switch erases the
currently selected configuration image in flash memory and
reboots. As a result, all parameters are reset to default
settings.
