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 the switch
parameters, you must access the CLI at the Privileged Exec level.
Note: You can only access the console interface thro ugh the Master unit
in the stack
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and pass words.
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.” (Th e password
characters are not displayed on the console scre en.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#” prompt
indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.
