Warning Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager
account with the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure that you
remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

information on configuring the switch.

where help-filename is the name of a help file stored in flash.
Help files have an .hlp extension. To see a list of files stored in flash, use the
command:
show file
To display a list of help topics, use the command:
help
To display help on a specific topic, use the command:

where topic is the name of a help topic.
You can also type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed
command to see a list of valid options.
Startup Procedure
When the switch starts up following either a power cycle or an operator-
initiated reboot (using the RESET button or restart command), it performs a
series of self tests and sends messages to the terminal or PC connected to the
ASYN0 port. After the switch successfully starts, a prompt is displayed for you
to log in. See the Getting Started chapter in the Software Reference for more
information about logging in.
The switch pauses briefly during routine startup messages to display the
following prompt:
Force EPROM download (Y)?
If you do nothing, switch software is loaded along with a pre-configured
startup script. For troubleshooting, you can change the startup process by
using the following keys.
Pressing this key... Forces the switch to...
[Y]
Load the EPROM release with no patch.
[S]
Start with the default configuration so that any boot script is ignored.
[Ctrl/D]
Enter diagnostics mode. For more information, see
