Your First Login Session

Once the switch or stack has successfully booted and you have accessed your computer’s terminal emulation software via the console port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) and configure basic information.

Complete the following steps during your first login session:

Log in to the switch or stack

Unlock session types

Change the login password

Set the date and time

Set optional system information

Save your changes

Note. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before initiating your first login session. If you are using OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches in a stacked configuration, you must be connected to the console port of the stack’s primary switch.

Logging in to the Switch

When you first log in to the switch or stack, you will be prompted for a login (i.e., user) name and password. During this first login session, only one user name option and one password option is available:

Login (i.e., user name)—admin

Password—switch

To log in to the switch or stack, enter admin at the login prompt:

login: admin

Next, enter the factory default password, switch, at the pass- word prompt:

password: switch
