Basic Configuration 2

Setting Passwords

Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should define new passwords for both default user names using the “username” command, record them and put them in a safe place.

Passwords can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords as follows:

1.Open the console interface with the default user name and password “admin” to access the Privileged Exec level.

2.Type “configure” and press <Enter>.

3.Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal Exec level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.

4.Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the Privileged Exec level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.

Username: admin

Password:

CLI session with 44GE+4Combo Layer2/3/4 Stackable Switch is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].

Console#configure

Console(config)#username guest password 0 [password]

Console(config)#username admin password 0 [password]

Console(config)#

Setting an IP Address

You must establish IP address information for the stack to obtain management access through the network. This can be done in either of the following ways:

Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as the stack’s master unit, you will also need to specify the default gateway router.

Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or DHCP address allocation servers on the network.

Manual Configuration

You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to specify a default gateway that resides between this device and management stations that exist on another network segment (if routing is not enabled on this switch). Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.

Note: The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default.
