Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords.
The switch has a default user name and password for each level. To log
into the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using the default user name and
password, perform these steps:

1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The “User Access

Verification” procedure starts.

2. At the Username prompt, enter “admin.”
3. At the Password prompt, also enter “admin.” (The password

characters are not displayed on the console screen.)

4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#” prompt

indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.

Setting Passwords

Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should

define new passwords for both default user names using the
“username” command, record them and put them in a safe place.

Passwords can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters and are case
sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords
as follows:

1. Open the console interface with the default user name and password

“admin” to access the Privileged Exec level.

2. Type “configure” and press <Enter>.
3. Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal Exec

level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
