44 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT Viewing IP Information via the Console Port You are now ready to view the automatically allocated IP information using the command line interface. 1 Connect your Switch to the network using an Ethernet cable. As soon as a network connection is made the Switch begins the automatic IP configuration process. The automatic IP configuration process usually completes within one minute. If there is no response from a DHCP server within 30 seconds, the Auto-IP configuration mechanism attempts to allocate the default IP address 169.254.100.100. If this address is not available, it then allocates an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.y (where x is in the range 1 to 254, and y is in the range 0 to 255). 2 The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch detects a connection to its console port. If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times until it starts. 3 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and press Return at the password prompt. If you have logged on correctly, the top-level menu of the command line interface is displayed as shown in the example in Figure 14.

Viewing IP Information via the Console Port
You are now ready to view the automatically allocated IP information
using the command line interface.
1
Connect your Switch to the network using an Ethernet cable. As soon as
a network connection is made the Switch begins the automatic IP
configuration process.
The automatic IP configuration process usually completes within one
minute.
If there is no response from a DHCP server within 30 seconds, the Auto-IP
configuration mechanism attempts to allocate the default IP address
169.254.100.100. If this address is not available, it then allocates an IP
address in the range of 169.254.x.y (where x is in the range 1 to 254, and
y is in the range 0 to 255).
2
The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch
detects a connection to its console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times
until it starts.

admin
as your user name and
press Return at the password prompt. If you have logged on correctly, the
