Extreme Networks 17001 manual Logging In for the First Time

Logging In for the First Time

After your switch has completed all power on self-tests, it is operational. You can log in and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named de fa ult).

NOTE

The management port is part of the management VLAN by default.

To manually configure the IP settings:

1Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the console port on the Summit switch.

2At the terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.

3At the login prompt, enter the default user name a dmin to log on with administrator privileges. For example:

login: admin

Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.

4The system will ask a series of questions about the default management settings, which allow all forms of management access for convenience in setting the initial configuration. Answer each question based on the level of security needed for the particular management access type.

NOTE

For more information about logging in to the switch and configuring switch management access, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

5At the password prompt, press [Return].

The default user name a dmin has no password assigned to it. When you have successfully logged on to the system, the command line prompt displays the system name (for example, SummitX450>) in its prompt.

NOTE

For more information about how to assign a specific system name, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

6Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN de fa ult by typing: configure vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 255.255.255.0

Your changes take effect immediately.

7Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next system reboot by typing: save

The configuration is saved to the configuration database of the MSM modules in the switch.

NOTE

For more information about saving configuration changes, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

8When you are finished with these tasks, log out of the switch by typing: logout
