Connecting to the Switch Using Telnet
Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in a VT-100 compatible
terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. Most of the screens are identical, whether accessed from the
console port or from a Telnet interface.
First Time Connecting to the Switch
The Switch supports user-based security that can allow you to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the
Switch or changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the Switch.
Note: The passwords used to access the Switch are case sensitive, therefore, “S” is not
the same as “s.”
When you first connect to the Switch, you will be presented with the first login screen (shown below).
Note: Press Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at any time to
force the console program in the Switch to refresh the console screen.
