Completing the Installation

After installing the SSA switch and connecting it to the network, access the command line interface (CLI) from your PC or terminal connection as described in the following steps.

Note

Note

Use this procedure only for initial login and for logging in to a device that is not yet configured with administratively-supplied user and password settings.

By default, the SSA switch is configured with three user login accounts:

ro Read-Only access
rw Read-Write access
admin Super-user access to all modifiable parameters

The default password for all three accounts is set to blank (null). For information on changing these default passwords, refer to the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide.

  1. Connect a terminal to the local console port as described in Connecting to a Local Management Console.
