Chapter 6 Quick Start up
The CLI Quick Start up details procedures to quickly become acquainted with the 7300 Series L3
Switch.

Quick Starting the Switch

1. Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows
access to the 7300 Series L3 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, execute the following steps:
• Type the word admin in the login area. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands
require administrator account rights, NETGEAR suggests logging into an administrator
account.
• Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.
• Press the enter key two times.
• The CLI User EXEC prompt will be displayed.
• Use “enable” to switch to the Privileged EXEC mode from User EXEC.
• Use “configure” to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC.
• Use “exit” to return to the previous mode.
