Chapter 6

Quick Startup

The CLI Quick Start up details procedures to quickly become acquainted with the 7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Software.

Quick Starting the Switch

1.Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows access to the 7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Software 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, log in using an administrator account.

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

Press the enter key two times.
