Establishing an Ethernet or serial connection
To access Switch Manager or the CLI, connect the management workstation to the switch in
one of three ways, as previously described in “Cable pin configurations” on page 64.
Note: Ethernet or serial cable connections are not used when initially configuring the switch.
Ethernet connection information
The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. Use the Switch Manager Configuration
Wizard to set the IP address of a new switch without re-configuring the management
workstation.
To establish an Ethernet connection:
1. Connect a 10/100 Base-T straight cable indirectly over an Ethernet network or a 10/100
Base-T cross-over cable from an RJ-45 port on the management workstation directly to
the RJ-45 Ethernet port. See “Cable pin configurations” on page 64 for information about
the cables.
2. Open a command line window.
3. Open a Telnet session by entering the following command with the switch IP address
(Default IP address: 10.0.0.1):
telnet 10.0.0.1
4. Log in to the switch. The default account name and password are (admin, password).
switch login: admin
password: ********
