Overview
Set your terminal parameters to the following settings:
•
•
•
•
•
•
VT-100/ANSI compatible
9600 baud
8 data bits
No parity
One stop bit
No flow control
After you have set an IP address for each GbE Interconnect Switch, you can use a Telnet
program (in VT100-compatible terminal mode) to access and control the switch. All of the
screens are identical, whether they are accessed from the serial port or from a Telnet
interface.
Logging On to the GbE Interconnect Switch
When you log on to a GbE Interconnect Switch, the following screen is displayed.
IMPORTANT: The GbE Interconnect Switch does not have any initial user names or passwords set.
HP recommends that after logging on, you create at least one Root-level user as the switch
administrator. (Refer to Table 2-1 in Chapter 2 for an explanation of user privileges.) If you forget your
password after it has been set up, call HP Customer Support to get the MAC-based backdoor
password.
To log on for the first time:
1. Leave the Username field blank and press the Tab key.
2. Leave the Password field blank and press the Enter key. The main menu for the GbE
Interconnect Switch is displayed.
NOTE: After user accounts are created, subsequent users will enter their user name and
password, then press the Enter key.
