34 Summit 200 Series Switch Installation and User Guide
Switch Installation

Powering On the Switch

To turn on power to the switch, connect the AC power cable to the switch and then to the wall outlet.
Turn the on/off switch to the on position.

Checking the Installation

After turning on power to the Summit 200 series switch, the device performs a Power On Self-Test
(POST).
During the POST, all ports are temporarily disabled, the port LED is off, and the MGMT LED flashes.
The MGMT LED flashes until the switch successfully passes the POST.
If the switch passes the POST, the MGMT LED is blinking slowly (once per second). If the switch fails
the POST, the MGMT LED is amber.
NOTE
For more information on the LEDs, see Chapter 1, “Summit 200 Series Switch Overview”.

Logging In for the First Time

After the Summit 200 series switch completes the POST, it is operational. Once operational, you can log
in to the switch and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named default).
To configure the IP settings manually, follow these steps:
1Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the console port.
2At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
3At the login prompt, enter the default user name admin to log on with administrator privileges.
For example:
login: admin
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.
NOTE
For more information on switch security, see Chapter 4, “Accessing the Switch”.
4At the password prompt, press [Return].
The default name, admin, has no password assigned. When you have successfully logged on to the
switch, the command-line prompt displays the name of the switch (for example, Summit200-24) in its
prompt.
5Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN default by typing
config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 255.255.255.0
Your changes take effect immediately.
6Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch reboot, by typing
