D-Link DFE-2600 manual Logging in to the Hub Console

For information about segmenting hubs using the network management mod- ule for the hub, see the ub Stack Management: Controlling Hubs in the Hub Stack” section later in this chapter.

NOTE:	Hub segmentation is controlled by the master
	hub. When the master hub completes its ini-
	tialization, it will restore any prior segmentation
	of the hubs. Therefore, if you are using a
	switch or bridge to join different segments, be
	sure to enable the IEEE 803.1d Spanning Tree
	Protocol to prevent temporary network loops

This means that before you can access the functions of the hub, you will need to first log into the hub, providing a password. This section tells how to log onto the hub, and how to change your password.

When you first connect to the hub, it will display the login screen:
