2.3Quick Starting the Switch

1.Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows access to the FortiSwitch- 100 switch locally or from a remote workstation. The device must be configured with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).

2.Turn the Power ON.

3.Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is called the default mode.

4.When the prompt asks for operator login, do the following:

Type the word admin in the login area. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands require administrator account rights, Fortinet suggests logging into an administrator account.

Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.

Press the <Enter> key

The CLI Privileged EXEC mode prompt will be displayed.

Use “configure” to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC.

Use “exit” to return to the previous mode.
