Get To Know Your Switch

Step 1

Connect a computer to the switch console port using a Cisco console cable (purchased separately) or a cable with mini

USB connector.

Step 2

Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the computer.

Step 3

Configure the utility with the following parameters:

• 115200 bits per second

• 8 data bits

• no parity

• 1 stop bit

• no flow control

Step 4

Enter a username and password. The default username is cisco, and the default password is cisco. Usernames and passwords

are both case sensitive.

If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default username and password, the following message appears:

Please change your username AND password from the default settings. Change of credentials

is required for better protection of your network.

Please note that new password must follow password complexity rules

Step 5

Set a new administrator username and password.

Caution

Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved before exiting.

You are now ready to configure the switch. See the CLI Guide for your switch.

Note

If you are not using DHCP on your network, set the IP address type on the switch to Static and change the static

IP address and subnet mask to match your network topology. Failure to do so may result in multiple switches

using the same factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254.

Console access also provides additional interfaces for debug access which are not available via the web interface. These

debug access interfaces are intended to be used by a Cisco Support Team personnel, in cases where it is required to debug

device's behavior. These interfaces are password protected. The passwords are held by the Cisco support team. The device

supports the following debug access interfaces:

• U-BOOT access during boot sequence

• Linux Kernel access during boot sequence

• Run time debug modes - allows Cisco support team to view device settings and apply protocol and layer 1 debug

commands and settings. The run time debug mode is accessible over telnet and SSH terminals in addition to console.
