Accessing the Switch
-
If you are logging in for the first time, use the default user
name admin to log in with administrator privileges. For
example:
login: admin
Administrator capabilities enable you to access all switch
functions. The default user names have no passwords assigned.
-
If you have been assigned a user name and password with
administrator privileges, enter them at the login prompt.
4
At the password prompt, enter the password and press
[Return].
When you have successfully logged in 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 the default
VLAN by using the following command:
config vlan <name> ipaddress <ipaddress>
{<subnet_mask>}
For example:
config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8
255.255.255.0
Your changes take effect immediately.
Note
As a general rule, when configuring any IP addresses for
the switch, you can express a subnet mask by using dotted
decimal notation, or by using classless inter-domain
routing notation (CIDR). CIDR uses a forward slash plus
the number of bits in the subnet mask. Using CIDR
notation, the command identical to the one above would
be:
config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8/24
6
Configure the default route for the switch using the following
command:
config iproute add default <gateway> {<metric>}
For example:
config iproute add default 123.45.67.1
7
Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect
after the next switch reboot, by typing
save
