5000 Series Data Center Switches Hardware Installation Guide Creating a User Account When logging into the switch using D-Link OS, there is no preconfigured default username and password. 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. An example to create an administrator-level account for the switch called 'NewUser': (Switch) enable (Switch) # (Switch) #configure (Switch) (Config) #username NewUser Password 12345 level 15 (Switch) (Config) #end (Switch) # Figure 4-8 To create a user account 1. At the CLI command prompt, enter the enable command to enter the Privileged EXEC Mode. Press Enter. 2. Enter the configure command to enter the Global Configuration Mode. Press Enter. 3. Enter the username NewUser password 12345 level 15 command. Press Enter. This will create an Administrative (15) privilege user account with the username of NewUser and a password of 12345. 4. Enter the end command to exit back to the Privileged EXEC Mode. NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. Usernames should be between 1 to 64 characters in length. Passwords should be between 8 to 64 characters in length. Configuring the IP Address Each switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP applications. The switch's VLAN1 default IP address is 10.90.90.90/8, and the management port default IP address is 192.168.0.1/24. You can change the switch's default IP address to fit into your networking address range. Below is 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) enable (Switch) # (Switch) #network parms 10.50.50.50 255.0.0.0 (Switch) # Figure 4-9 To change the IP address 1. At the CLI command prompt, enter the enable command to enter the Privileged EXEC Mode. Press Enter. 2. Enter the network parms 10.50.50.50 255.0.0.0 command to change the IP address and subnet mask. Press Enter. The switch can now be configured and accessed through Telnet. The switch's IP address can also automatically be obtained by using the BOOTP or DHCP protocol. 25
