Connecting to the switch using the serial connection
Perform the following steps to log in to the switch through the serial connection.
1. Verify that the switch has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port
status and power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state; for
information about LED patterns, see "LED activity" on page 25.
2. When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press
Enter to display the login prompt.
3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default password: password. You will
be prompted to change the default passwords at initial login.
Setting the switch IP address
You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch.
DHCP is enabled by default. The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Using DHCP to set the IP address: When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The
DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the
switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static
IP address.
Setting a static IP address:
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
v To use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as
prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
v To use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated
notation as prompted.
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted (IPv4 format
shown).
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off
