Using the CLI

Now we need to configure your initial privilege (Level 15) user

account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web

interface. You may set up other accounts and change privilege

levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and

changing privilege levels, see the User’s Guide.

To set up a user account:

Type the user name [admin]: admin

Type the user password: ********

Type the user password again: ********

NOTE:

If the first and second password entries are not identical,

the user is prompted until they are.

NOTE:

You can create additional user accounts after completing the

Easy Setup Wizard. See the User’s Guide for more information.

Step 3:

Next, an IP address is set up. The IP address is defined on the

default VLAN (VLAN #1), of which all ports are members. This is the

IP address you use to access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP

interface for the switch. Optionally you may request that the

system automatically retrieve an IP address from the network using

DHCP (this option requires that you have a DHCP server running on

the network).

To set up an IP address:

Type the IP address of the device (A.B.C.D) or enter "DHCP"

(without the quotation marks) to automatically request an IP

address from the network DHCP server. [192.168.2.1].

Type the IP subnet mask (A.B.C.D or /nn). [255.255.255.0]

Step 4:

Finally, set up the default gateway. Type the IP address of the

gateway from which this network is reachable [0.0.0.0]:

This is the configuration information that has been collected:

User Account set up = admin

Password = ********

Management IP address = 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway = 0.0.0.0
