3.4 Quick Starting the Switch
1. Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows access
to the FortiSwitch-548B Series Switch locally. From a remote workstation,the device must be
configured with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
2. Turn the Power ON.
3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is called
the default mode.
4. When the prompt asks for operator login, do the following:
• Type the word admin in the login area. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands require
administrator account rights, FORTINET suggests logging into an administrator account.
• Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.
• Press the <Enter> key
• The CLI Privileged EXEC mode prompt will be displayed.
• Use “configure” to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC.
• Use “exit” to return to the previous mode.
