First Time Connecting To The Switch
The Switch supports user-based security that can allow you to prevent
unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or changing its settings. This
section tells how to log onto the Switch.

Note: The passwords used to access the Switch are case

sensitive; therefore, “S” is not the same as “s.”

When you first connect to the Switch, you will be presented with the first
login screen (shown below). Press Ctrl+R (hold down the Ctrl key,
press the R key, and release both keys) to call up the screen, if the
first login screen does not appear. Also Ctrl+R can be used at any
