x900 Series Switch and SwitchBlade® x908
18
When x900-24XT, x900-24XT-N, x900-24XS, or SwitchBlade x908
switches are connected to form a virtual chassis stack (VCS), the ETH0
port has additional operational functions. See the Hardware Reference for
more information.
From the terminal or PC, Telnet to the IP address of the ETH0 port.
2. To use the ASYN0/CONSOLE port, physically connect it to the
terminal or PC with the RJ-45 DB9 cable that is supplied. For NEBS
compatibility, the cable must be shielded and grounded at both ends,
especially if permanently connected.
Set communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to the following:
• bit rate: 9600
• data bits: 8
•parity: None
• stop bits: 1
• flow control: None
For information about terminal emulation, see Using Windows Terminal and
HyperTerminal in the Hardware Reference.
3. Log in at the prompt.
If using the ASYN0/CONSOLE port, the login prompt is displayed after the
switch has booted. If not, press the Enter key two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time, it automatically creates an
account with manager privileges. The login name for the account is manager
and the password is friend.
At the login prompt, enter the login name and password as follows:
Login: manager
Password: friend
The switch’s command prompt is displayed upon successful login.
4. Change the password.
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 following commands:
awplus>enable
awplus#configure terminal
awplus(config)#username manager password <password>
