Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on the console screen. This is where the user will enter commands to perform all the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name and a password.

Managing the Switch for the First Time

The Switch supports user-based security that can allow prevention of unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the Switch via out-if-band console connection.

NOTE: The passwords used to access the Switch are case-sensitive; for example, "S" is not the same as "s."

NOTE: Press Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at any time to force the console program in the Switch to refresh the console screen.

Press Enter in both the Username and Password fields. Then access will be given to enter commands after the command prompt DGS-3426: admin#, DGS-3426P: admin#, DGS-3427: admin# or DGS-3450: admin# as shown below:
