After the switch has completed the POST, it is operational. Once operational, you can
log in to the switch and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named
default).
To manually configure the IP settings, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the
console port.
2. At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
3. At the login prompt, enter the default user name admin to log on with
administrator privileges. For example:
login:
admin
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.
For more information on switch security, refer to the AT-9108, AT-8518, AT-8525,
and AT-8550 User's Guide. See "Related Publications" on page vi.
4. At the password prompt, press [Return].
The default name, admin, has no password assigned. When you have
successfully logged on to the switch, the command-line prompt displays the
name of the switch in its prompt.
5. Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN default by typing
config vlan default ipaddress <switch's IP address>
<subnet mask>
Your changes take effect immediately.
6. Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch
reboot, by typing
save
For more information on saving configuration changes, refer to the AT-9108,
AT-8518, AT-8525, and AT-8550 User's Guide.
7. When you are finished using the facility, logout of the switch by typing
logout
After two incorrect login attempts, the switch locks you out of the login facility.
You must wait a few minutes before attempting to log in again.
