ONNECTION

The CLI program provides two different command levels — normal access

level (Normal Exec) and privileged access level (Privileged Exec). The

commands available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of those

available at the Privileged Exec level and allow you to only display

information and use basic utilities. To fully configure the switch

parameters, you must access the CLI at the Privileged Exec level.

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 User Name 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.

ASSWORDS

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 32 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>.

4.

Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the Privileged Exec
level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.

Username: admin

CLI session with the MS453490M is opened.
