User Access Verification Username:admin Password:***** NOTE: For security reasons, it is highly recommended to configure a personal username and password for this Switch. Creating a User Account One of the first and most important tasks will be to create user accounts. Logging in using a predefined administratorlevel username will give the user privileged access to the Switch's management software. Also this will prevent unauthorized access to the Switch and record the passwords for future reference. An example to create an administrator-level account for the Switch called 'NewUser': Switch#configure terminal Switch(config)#username NewUser password 12345 Switch(config)# In the example above:  Enter the configure terminal command to enter the Global Configuration Mode. Press ENTER.  Enter the username NewUser password 12345 command to create a user account with the username of NewUser and a password of 12345. Press ENTER. NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. Usernames can be up to 32 characters in length. Passwords can be up to 32 plain-text characters in length. Configuring the IP Address Each switch must be assigned its own in-band IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP applications. The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.You can change the IP address of the Switch to meet the specification of your networking address scheme. The IP address of the Switch must be configured before it can be managed, by the user, via the Web UI. An example to change the IP address of the Switch to '10.50.50.50', using a subnet mask of '255.0.0.0': Switch#configure terminal Switch(config)#interface vlan 1 Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.50.50.50 255.0.0.0 Switch(config-if)# 19

User Access Verification
Username:admin
Password:*****
NOTE:
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to configure a personal username and password
for this Switch.
Creating a User Account
One of the first and most important tasks will be to create user accounts. Logging in using a predefined administrator-
level username will give the user privileged access to the Switch's management software. Also this will prevent
unauthorized access to the Switch and record the passwords for future reference.
An example to create an administrator-level account for the Switch
called ‘NewUser’:
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#username NewUser password 12345
Switch(config)#
In the example above:
Enter the
configure terminal
command to enter the
Global Configuration Mode
. Press ENTER.
Enter the
username NewUser password 12345
command to create a user account with the username of
NewUser
and a password of
12345
. Press ENTER.
NOTE:
Passwords are case sensitive. Usernames can be up to 32 characters in length. Passwords can
be up to 32 plain-text characters in length.
Configuring the IP Address
Each switch must be assigned its own in-band IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network
manager or other TCP/IP applications. The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of
255.0.0.0.You can change the IP address of the Switch to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The IP address of the Switch must be configured before it can be managed, by the user, via the Web UI.
An example to change the IP address of the Switch
to ‘10.
50.50.5
0’, using a subnet mask of ‘255.0.0.0’:
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.50.50.50 255.0.0.0
Switch(config-if)#
