Teln et
Before you can telnet to a Switch 7750 and configure it, you must:
1Configure the IP address of a VLAN interface for the Switch 7750 through the
console port (using the ip address command in VLAN interface view)
2Add the port (that connects to a terminal) to this VLAN (using the port command
in VLAN view)
3Log in to the Switch 7750
Tasks for Configuring through Telnet are described in the following sections:
Connecting the PC to the Switch 7750
Connecting Two Switch 7750 Systems
Connecting the PC to the Switch 7750
To connect the PC and Switch 7750 through Telnet:
1Authenticate the Telnet user through the console port before the user logs in by
Teln et.
By default, a password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the
Switch 7750. If a user logs in by Telnet without a password, the user sees the
message: Login password has not been set!
2Enter system view, return to user view by pressing Ctrl+Z.

(xxxx is the preset login password of Telnet user)
3To set up the configuration environment, connect the Ethernet port of the PC to
that of the Switch 7750 through the LAN. See Figure 7.
