Quick Start up

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

Quick Starting the Switch

1.Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows access to the 7300S 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.

•Enter the password you have defined or simply press the enter key if it is the first time you are logging in.

•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.
