More Information on User Accounts. A user account
includes a login name, password, and user privileges.
Privileges determine whether the user has read or write
access to the switch and which commands the user is
authorized to execute.
For detailed information on setting up and modifying user
accounts and user privileges, refer to the “Managing
Switch User Accounts” chapter of your OmniSwitch 6800/
6850/9000 Switch Management Guide.
Assigning an IP Address to the
Switch
Assigning an IP address to your OmniSwitch 6850 Series
switch is an important step in the setup process.
Remote sessions such as Telnet, FTP, and WebView require
an IP address. The IP address for these session types serves as
a destination point for the remote session. Therefore, before
the switch can support any remote login sessions, a valid IP
address must be configured.
To assign an IP address to a switch, simply assign an IP
address to the switch’s default VLAN 1 by entering the
ip interface command at the CLI prompt. Be sure that the
command begins with the command syntax:
-> ip interface address
exactly as shown, followed by the IP address. For example:
-> ip interface vlan_1 address 172.2.120.1
vlan 1
For information on assigning IP addresses in a stacked
configuration, refer to the OmniSwitch 6850 Hardware Users
Guide.
