Setting Up the Switch with IP Information

You are now ready to manually set up the Switch with IP information using the command line interface.

1The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch detects a connection to its console port.

If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times until it starts.

If you have not logged onto the Switch before, you will be prompted to enter a new password. 3Com recommends that you change your password from its default blank setting.

2At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and enter your password at the password prompt (or just press Return if you have not yet set a password). If you have logged on correctly, the top-level menu of the command line interface is displayed as shown in the example in Figure 9.
