Completing the Installation
After installing the switch and making the connections to the network, access the switch
management, as described below.
Initial Logon to Switch Management
To initially access switch management from your local PC, terminal, or modem connection,
proceed as follows at the displayed startup screen:
1. Enter rw (Read-Write) for Username.
2. At the Password prompt, press Enter (RETURN).
3. For details on how to configure the switch using the command line interface, refer to the
Enterasys A4 CLI Reference Guide. The CLI commands enable you to set a new password and
perform more involved management configurations on the switch. One of many capabilities is
to reconfigure the stack, reassigning the Manager function to another switch and configuring
the order of Member switches that will take over the stack management functions in case the
operating Manager is powered down, malfunctions, or is removed from the stack.
4. After the initial configuration, you can also use WebView (Enterasys Networks’ embedded
web server) for configuration and management tasks.
All the guides associated with the switch are available online at:

Once you are confident that the installation is successful, route and secure your cables. If you
require assistance, contact Enterasys Networks using one of the methods described in “Getting
Help” on page xvii.
