BASIC CONFIGURATION

The onboard configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above), or from a network computer using network management software such as EliteView.

Note: The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration

functions. To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-based network management software, such as EliteView.

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 username 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.
