Using Telnet
2-16
To configure the IP settings manually, perform the following
steps:
1. Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation
software to the console port.
2. At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see
the login prompt.
3. At the login prompt, enter your user name and password. Note
that they are both case-sensitive. Ensure that you have entered a
user name and password with administrator privileges.
– If you are logging in for the first time, use the default user
name admin to log in with administrator privileges. For
example:
login: admin
– Administrator capabilities enable you to access all switch
functions. The default user names have no passwords
assigned.
– If you have been assigned a user name and password with
administrator privileges, enter them at the login prompt.
4. At the password prompt, enter the password and press [Return].
When you have successfully logged in to the switch, the
command-line prompt displays the name of the switch in its
prompt.
5. Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for the default VLAN
by using the following command:
config vlan <name> ipaddress <ipaddress>
{<subnet_mask>}
For example:
config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8
255.255.255.0
Your changes take effect immediately.
