Method #3 Quick Setup on the Command Line Interface

If the SLB branch office manager does not have an IP address, you can connect a dumb terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program (VT100) to access the command line interface. (See Connecting a Terminal on page 25.) If the unit has an IP address, you can use SSH or Telnet to connect to the SLB device.

Note: By default, Telnet is disabled and SSH is enabled. To enable Telnet, use the

Services web page (see 7: Services), a serial terminal connection, or an SSH connection.

To complete the command line interface Quick Setup script:

1.Do one of the following:

With a serial terminal connection, power up, and when the command line displays, press Enter.

With a network connection, use an SSH program or Telnet program (if Telnet has been enabled) to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx (the IP address in dot quad notation), and press Enter. You should be at the login prompt.

2.Enter sysadmin as the user name and press Enter.

3.Enter PASS as the password and press Enter. The first time you log in, the Quick Setup script runs automatically. Normally, the command prompt displays.

<2> obtain IP Address from BOOTP: Permits a network node to request configuration information from a BOOTP "server" node.

<3> static IP Address: Allows you to assign a static IP address manually. The IP address is generally provided by the system administrator.
