2.8 Changing the Password

The default password (which is Asante, and is case-sensitive) may allow immediate access to ANYONE on the network. To protect the switch from unauthorized changes to the configuration, change the administrator’s password. It can only be changed through the console or telnet interfaces.

To change the administrator’s password, follow these steps:

1.Establish a telnet session, and type Asante at the password prompt.

2.Press Enter to proceed.

3.Type c to access the Configuration menu.

4.Type u to access the User Interface Configuration sub-menu.

5.Type p to select Change Password.

6.Type the current password (Asante) and press Enter.

7.Type the new password and press Enter.

8.Re-type the new password to confirm the entry, and press Enter.

2.9IP Assignment

To change the IP address of the switch from the default setting:

1.Access the System IP Configuration menu by typing i in the Configuration menu.

2.Type the command letter of the option you want to change.

3.Type the new address at the prompt.

To cancel a change, type ctrl-cat the command prompt.

4.Press Enter. The IP setting change for the switch takes effect.

5.Type q to quit and return to the Configuration menu.

When the reset is complete, the switch should be seen on the network. If not, check the IP information again to ensure that all the data is correct.
