Quick Startup
The Command Line Interface Quick Startup chapter details procedures to quickly become

Quick Starting the Switch
1. Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows
access to the GSM7224 L2 Switch software locally or from a remote workstation. The device
must be configured with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
2. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is
called the default mode.
3. When the prompt asks for operator login, execute the following steps:
• Type the word admin in the login area. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands
require administrator account rights, log in using an administrator account.
• Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.
• Press the enter key two times.
