If the switch passes the POST, the MGMT LED blinks at a slow rate
(1 blink per second). If the switch fails the POST, the MGMT LED
shows a solid orange light.
Logging In for the First Time
After the switch has completed the Power-On Self Test (POST), it is
operational. Then you can log in to the switch and configure an IP
address for the default VLAN (named default).
To manually configure the IP settings:
1 Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation
software to the console port.
2 At your terminal, press Enter one or more times until you see
the login prompt.
3 At the login prompt, enter the default user name admin to log in
with administrator privileges.
Administrator
capabilities allow you to
access all switch
functions.
4 At the password prompt, press Enter.
The default name admin has no password assigned. When you
have successfully logged in, the command-line prompt
displays the name of the switch (for example,
Switch480T) in
its prompt.
5 Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for VLAN default.
Use these commands (example IP addresses are used):
configure vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8
255.255.255.0
configure iproute add default <gateway>
123.45.67.8
enable ipforwarding
enable rip
Your changes should take effect immediately.
6 Save your configuration changes so that they are in effect after
the next switch reboot. Use this command to save:
save
7 When you have finished, log out of the switch using this
command:
logout
