Setting Up Command Line Interface Management using SSH 57 (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch) If opening a Telnet session via third party software you will need to enter the IP address in the format suitable for that software. 5 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and press Return at the password prompt (or the password of your choice if you have already modified the default passwords). If the login prompt does not display immediately, press Return a few times until it starts. 6 If you have logged on correctly, the Switch you wish to manage is displayed as (as shown in l on page 49). Setting Up Command Line Interface Management using SSH This section describes how you can set up Command Line Interface management using SSH over a network. To manage a Switch using the command line interface over a network using SSH: 1 Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as described in "Methods of Managing a Switch" on page 42. 2 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed. 3 Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a ping command at the DOS prompt in the following format: c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch) If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been entered correctly and the Switch is powered up. The switch automatically generates a host key pair when it is powered up for the first time, or after any reset to factory defaults. Host key generation may take a while, during which time SSH connections to the switch will be refused. 4 Install an SSH client application on the workstation you want to use to access the switch. 3Com recommends the following SSH clients; PuTTY, OpenSSH and SSH Communications Security Corp Secure Shell.
