Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should define a new user name and password, record them and put them in a safe place.

A user name or password can consist of up to 15 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the user name and password as follows:

1.Open the console interface with the default user name and password “admin” to access the Main Menu.

2.Navigate from the Main Menu to –

Switch Static Configuration, and then

Administration Configuration.

3.Select “Change Username” and press <Enter>.

Select <Edit>, type in the new user name, and press <Enter>.

Select <Save> and press Enter.
