Connect a terminal emulator to the console serial port on the switch using a serial cable. Serial port settings are 115200 baud
rate, 8 data bits, and no parity.
To log in to an OS10 switch, power up and wait for the system to perform a power-on self-test (POST). Enter admin for both
the default user name and user password.
Change the default admin password after the first OS10 login. The system saves the new password for future logins. After you
change the password through the CLI, use the write memory command to save the configuration. For example:
OS10 login: admin
Password: admin
