Connect a computer to any switch port and configure its IP address to be in the same subnet as the switch. Open a web navegador i introduïu l'adreça IP del commutador.
- Gestió de la CLI: Connect a console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9) from the switch's console port to a serial port on a computer. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with appropriate settings (e.g., 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control).
5.2. Configuració bàsica
After initial access, it is recommended to:
- Change the default administrator password.
- Configure a static IP address for the switch if a DHCP server is not consistently available or preferred.
- Establiu l'hora i la data del sistema.
- Save the configuration to prevent loss upon reboot.
