INSTALLATION AND SETUP

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, and turn the on/off switch to the on position.

CHECKING THE INSTALLATION

After turning on power to the Summit, the device performs a Power On Self-Test (POST).

During the POST, all ports are temporarily disabled, the packet LED is off, the power LED is on, and the MGMT LED flashes. The MGMT LED flashes until the switch has successfully passed the POST.

If the switch passes the POST, the MGMT LED blinks at a slow rate (1 blink per second). If the switch fails the POST, the MGMT LED shows a solid yellow light.

For more information on the LEDs, refer to Chapter 1.

LOGGING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME

After the Summit has completed 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 manually configure the IP settings, perform the following 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.

For more information on switch security, refer to Chapter 3.
