Logging In
A user accessing the switch from a terminal or PC connected to the front panel
Enter your login name at the login prompt:
login: manager
Enter the password at the password prompt:
password: friend
This password should be changed to prevent unauthorised access to the switch, using the command:
SET PASSWORD
Make sure you remember the new password you create, as a lost password cannot be retrieved, and would mean losing access for configuring and monitoring the switch.
Giving the Switch an IP Address
Once you have logged into the manager account you will be able to enter commands from this document and from the Rapier Switch Software Reference.
Add an IP interface over the default VLAN (vlan1) and assign it an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1), using the command:
ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IPADDRESS=192.168.1.1
Once the switch is configured with an IP address, the command line interface can also be accessed by using Telnet to the switch from an IP host.
Entering Commands
The switch is controlled with commands described in this document and in the Rapier Switch Software Reference. While the keywords in commands are not case sensitive, the values entered for some parameters are. The switch supports command line editing and recall (Table 2 on page 13).
