Console Connection

For a description of how to use the CLI, see
page 63. For a list of all the CLI commands and detailed information on using the
CLI, refer to "CLI Command Groups" on page
Prior to accessing the switch's onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using a
console connection, or DHCP protocol.
An IPv4 address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To manually
configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via DHCP, see
"Setting an IP Address" on page
Note: This switch supports eight Telnet sessions or SSH sessions.
After configuring the switch's IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The onboard
configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached
to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a web
browser (Internet Explorer 6 or above, or Mozilla Firefox 4 or above), or from a
network computer using SNMP network management software.
The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To
access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-based
network management software.
The CLI program provides two different command levels — normal access level
(Normal Exec) and privileged access level (Privileged Exec). The commands
available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of those available at the
Privileged Exec level and allow you to only display information and use basic
utilities. To fully configure the switch parameters, you must access the CLI at the
Privileged Exec level.
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords. The switch
has a default user name and password for each level. To log into the CLI at the
Privileged Exec level using the default user name and password, perform these
steps:
1.
To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The "User Access
Verification" procedure starts.
2.
At the User Name prompt, enter "admin. "
