To establish a Telnet session:

1.Telnet to the switch’s IP address.

2.Enter login (user name) and password information in one of the following ways:

–If the switch’s default login and password settings have not been changed, follow the steps listed in “Using a Default User Account” on page 1‐7, or

–Enter an administratively‐configured user name and password.

The notice of authorization and the prompt displays as shown in Figure 1‐1.

For information about configuring Telnet settings, refer to “Starting and Configuring Telnet” on page 3‐37.

Refer to the instructions included with the Telnet application for information about establishing a Telnet session.

The default password is set to a blank string. For information on changing these default settings, refer to “Setting User Accounts and Passwords” on page 3‐2.

–rw for Read‐Write access.

–admin for Super User access.

2.Press ENTER. The Password prompt displays.
