Connecting to the Switch Using Telnet

Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in a VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. Most of the screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.

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).
