Connecting to the switch through an SSH session

For NETCONF operations, you must connect to the device using SSH.

  1. Connect through a serial port to the device
  2. Verify that the network interface of the device is configured and that it is connected to the IP network through the RJ-45 Ethernet port.
  3. Log off from the serial port of the device.
  4. From a management station, open an SSH connection using the management IP address of the device to which you want to connect.
  5. Enter the account user name at the login prompt.
  6. Enter the password.
    Extreme recommends that you change the default account password when you log in for the first time. For more information on changing the default password, refer to the Extreme SLX Hardware Installation Guide.
  7. Verify that the login was successful.
    The prompt displays the host name followed by a pound sign (#).
