2. Set the communication parameters
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to:
• Baud rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: Hardware
3. Log in
After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt
doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and
the password is “friend”.
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.
Login: manager
Password: friend
The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the
switch using the command line interface.
Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with
the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the
new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.
Use the following command to change the account password:
set password
4. Load command line interface help files
To access CLI help, enter:
set help=help-filename
where help-filename is the name of a help file stored in flash.
To see a list of files stored in flash, enter:
show file
Help files have an HLP extension.
To display a list of help topics, enter:
help
To display help on a specific topic, enter:
help topic
Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed
command to see a list of valid options.
See the Rapier Switch Software Reference for more information on
configuring the switch.
