Manually Configuring IP Information 39
Setting Up the Switch with IP Information
You are now ready to manually set up the Switch with IP information
using the command line interface.
1 The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch
detects a connection to its console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times
until it starts.
If you have not logged onto the Switch before, you will be prompted to
enter a new password. 3Com recommends that you change your
password from its default blank setting.
2 At the login and password prompts, enter
admin as your user name and
enter your password at the password prompt (or just press Return if you
have not yet set a password). If you have logged on correctly, the
top-level menu of the command line interface is displayed as shown in
the example in Figure 9.
