management functions, you must use SNMP-based network
management software.

Basic Configuration

Console Connection

The CLI program provides two different command levels
normal access level (Normal Exec) and privileged access level
(Privileged Exec). The commands available at the Normal Exec
level are a limited subset of those available at the Privileged Exec
level and allow you to only display information and use basic
utilities. To fully configure switch parameters, you must access the
CLI at the Privileged Exec level.
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and
passwords. The switch has a default user name and password for
each level. To log into the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using
the default user name and password, perform these steps:
1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The “User
Access Verification” procedure starts.
2. At the Username prompt, enter “admin.”
3. At the Password prompt, also enter “admin.” (The password
characters are not displayed on the console screen.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#”
prompt indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.
