Switch Start-up

This section outlines the log in and start-up procedures for your switch.
Although the switch will perform basic switching operations without being
configured, you will need to go through these log in and start-up procedures if
you wish to configure the switch and access its full layer 3 switching
capabilities.

To log In

To log in you must first connect the switch to a terminal or PC. This can be
done using the RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0). A terminal cable suitable for
use with ASYN0 is supplied with each switch.
Using the supplied terminal cable, or a cable you have made by following the
instructions in "Useful Cables" on page 18, connect your terminal or PC to
ASYN0.
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to:
• Baud rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: Hardware
See "Using Windows Terminal and Hyperterminal" on page 10 for more
information on configuring emulation software.
Ensure that any power switches are in the On position and that the switch is
receiving power.
After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt
doesn't appear, press [Enter] two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name "manager" and the
password is "friend".
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.
Log in: manager
Password: friend
The switch's command prompt appears and you can now configure the switch
using the command line interface.
