Chapter 2: Console Interface
Log-in Screen
Once a direct connection to the serial port or a Telnet connection is established, the
log-in screen for the onboard configuration program appears as shown below.
Note: A banner message may be configured to appear before the Login screen. The
banner message is a login security alert. (See “Configuring the Banner Message”
on page 2-21.)
If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then the default user
names are “admin” and “guest,” with the password “switch.” The Administrator has
Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics, while the Guest
has Read Only access to the management program.
You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place.
Select Console Login Configuration from the Management Setup Menu and enter a
new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11
alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
Note: You are allowed three attempts to enter the correct password; on the third failed
attempt the current connection is terminated.
