The Switch Login Page displays.
STEP 5 Enter the default login information:
• Username is cisco
• Default password is cisco (passwords are case sensitive)
STEP 6 If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default
username and password, the Change Password page opens. The
rules for constructing a new login and password are displayed on
the page. Enter a new administrator password and click Apply.
CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved to
the Startup configuration before exiting from the web-based
interface by clicking on the Save icon. Exiting before you
save your configuration will result in all current changes
being lost the next time the switch is rebooted.
The Getting Started window displays. You are now ready to configure the
switch. Refer to the Cisco 300 Series Managed Switch Administration
Guide for further information.
Use the console port
To configure the switch by using the console port:
STEP 1 Connect a computer to the switch console port using the provided
serial cable.
STEP 2 Start a terminal application such as HyperTerminal on the
computer.
STEP 3 Configure the utility with the following parameters:
• 115200 bits per second (with release 1.2.5 of the firmware,
autobaud detection is enabled by default, so the switch should
detect the speed after you press Enter).
