Log in for the First Time on Switch Engine

Before you begin

Onboard your switch with ExtremeCloud™. Log in or create your XIQ administrator account in order to select your switch operating system with XIQ at https://extremecloudiq.com

Switch Engine is the default operating system for the 5320 Series. If you want to run Fabric Engine, see Change the Switch OS via the Bootloader Menu or Change the Switch OS via the Startup Menu.

Note

Fabric Engine does not support models 5320-24T-4X-XT and 5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT.

Before logging in, verify that the switch LEDs are on (solid green or blinking green) and that it is connected to a management console as described in Connect to a Management Console.

About this task

To perform the initial login and complete initial configuration tasks, follow these steps.

Procedure

Using a terminal emulator such as PuTTY or TeraTerm, connect to the switch using the serial port connection. You can also connect to the switch via telnet or SSH.
Be sure that your serial connection is set properly:
- Baud rate: Baud rate: 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bit: 1
At the management console, press [Enter] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
At the login prompt, log in using the default user name admin.

For example:
login: admin

Note
For the initial password, simply press [Enter].

When you have successfully logged on to the system, the command line prompt displays the system name (for example, 5320-24T-8XE-SwitchEngine#) in its prompt. You are logged in with administrator privileges, which gives you access to all switch functions.
Respond to the screen prompts to configure the level of security you need.
