Prepare for Configuration
24 Quick Start for Hardware Installation: P332MF Stackable Switch
1. Use the serial cable supplied to attach the RJ-45 console connector to the Console port of
the active P330 switch. Connect the DB-9 connector to the serial (COM) port on your PC/
terminal.
- The master P330 is indicated by the SYS LED being ON.
2. Ensure that the serial port settings on the terminal are:
● 9600 baud
● 8 bits
● 1 stop bit
● no parity.
- If you reset or powered up the switch after connecting and configuring the terminal,
Welcome to P330 appears followed by the Login Name prompt.
- If the login prompt does not appear, press a key on the terminal.
3. Enter the default login: root.
- The Password prompt appears
4. Enter the user level password: root.
- You can now establish a connection to the Router or the Master switch (indicated
when the SYS front panel LED is ON) using the Session commands and begin the
configuration of module, stack, or router parameters.
Assigning a P330 IP Stack Address
Note:
Note:
All P330 switches are shipped with the same default IP address. You must
change the IP address of the master P330 switch in a stack in order to guarantee
that the stack has its own unique IP address in the network.
The network management station or a workstation running a Telnet client can establish
communications with the stack once this address had been assigned and the stack has been
inserted into the network. Use the CLI to assign the P330 stack an IP address and net mask.
To assign a P330 IP stack address:
1. Establish a serial connection by connecting a terminal to the master P330 switch of the
stack.
2. When prompted for a Login Name, enter the default name root
3. When you are prompted for a password, enter the password root. You are now in
Supervisor Level.
