Installation and Safety Guide

4.Change the password.

Change the password as soon as possible because a manager account with the default password is a serious security risk. Remember the new password because there is no way to retrieve it if you forget it.

To change the account password, use the set password command.

5.Configure the online help.

To use online help you must first configure the help file, by using the command:

set help=<filename>.hlp

Help files have a .hlp extension. To see a list of help files loaded on your switch, use the command:

show files=*.hlp

6.Configure the switch.

Refer to the Software Reference for more information about configuring the software. Alternatively, if you do not know the command syntax, use any of the following to help you:

To display a list of help topics, use the help command.

To display help on a specific topic, use the help <topic> command.

To display a list of valid options, type a question mark or press the Tab key at the end of a partial command.

To complete a parameter after you have typed enough letters to uniquely match the desired one, press the Tab key.

7.Save the configuration.

Save your configuration to a new file by using the command: create config=<filename>.cfg

Then set the switch to load this file when it restarts by using the command: set config=<filename>.cfg
