Log in to the device

You can log in to a device through Telnet, or the Console port, or from the Web interface.

·     Telnet login—Log in to the device through a remote connection to configure or manage the device.

·     Console port login—Log in to the device locally. This method is the basis for configuring the other login methods.

·     Web interface access—Log in to the device from the Web interface to perform basic device configuration and management tasks.

Log in through Telnet

To log in to the device through Telnet, use a terminal emulator program, such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY, to establish a connection to the device.

The device is enabled with Telnet services by default. Both the default login username and password are admin.

Configure Telnet login

1.     Device is configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP by default, use Telnet to access the obtained IP address. If device fails to obtain an IP address, use Telnet to access the default IP address 192.168.0.100.

2.     Enter the default username and password as prompted. For security purposes, change the login password after successful login.

Log in through the console port

About this task

Console port login is one of the basic device login methods. This method allows you to access the device by using a console cable for system maintenance.

Prerequisites

Before logging in to the device through the console port, prepare the following tools:

·     Console cable—An eight-core copper cable with an RJ-45 connector at one end and a DB-9 connector at the other end.

·     Configuration terminal—A character terminal with an RS-232 interface or a PC.

 

NOTE: ·     When you connect a PC to the device, first connect the DB-9 connector to the PC and then connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port as a best practice. ·     When you disconnect a PC from the device, first remove the RJ-45 connector and then remove the DB-9 connector as a best practice. ·     If the PC does not have an RS-232 interface but has an USB port, use a USB-to-RS-232 adapter to connect the console cable. You must also install the corresponding driver program.

 

Configure terminal parameters

As shown in Figure 1, use a terminal emulator program, such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY to connect the configuration terminal to the device.

Figure 1 Connecting the PC to the device

 

Configure the terminal parameters as follows:

·     Bits per second—9600.

·     Data bits—8.

·     Stop bits—1.

·     Parity—None.

·     Flow control—None.

Log in to the device

Power on the device. The following information appears on the terminal screen:

System is starting...

Booting Normal Extend BootWare.

……

System application is starting...

Startup configuration file does not exist.

User interface con0 is available.

 

 

 

Press ENTER to get started.

After the device self-test finishes, press Enter to access the CLI.

Log in from the Web interface

About this task

For users to configure and maintain network devices, the device provides a Web interface.

The device is enabled with HTTP and HTTPS services by default. Both the default login username and password are admin.

Procedure

To log in to the device from the Web interface through a wired connection:

1.     Device is configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP by default, configure the PC to use an IP address on the same subnet, and access the local Web interface. If the interface fails to obtain an IP address, access the default IP address 192.168.0.100 to access the local Web interface.

2.     Enter the default username and password, and then click the login button. For security purposes, change the login password as prompted.
