Managing Via Telnet
To make a successful Telnet connection to a switch, the following is required:
Switch name or IP address
Username
Password
NOTE: The IP address must be set using the ipAddrSet command, which can be issued by connecting to the RS-232
serial port on the front panel. See "Setting IP Address Using the Serial Port
" for more information.
Consult with the local network system administrator for the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The serial port and Telnet connection are mutually exclusive and there can be only one serial port session active at a time.
Telnet takes priority, so the serial port is terminated when a Telnet connection is made. The serial connection is restored
after the Telnet session is completed but re-logging in is required. A password is required to login to the serial port
session. Password checking is skipped only at initial power on and remains off until log off is done.
Default Username
Each Username has a security level associated with it. Username 3 is the least privileged and the security
level goes up to Username 0, which is the most privileged.
