Type “login” to access the command line interface. The default user
name is “admin”. Skip the password by pressing <Enter>.
You can change the password at any time through CLI (see
section 5.3.1). To protect your switch from unauthorized
access, you must change the default password as soon as
possible.

Follow these steps to assign an IP address to the switch:
a)
Type “net interface ip sw0 <your ip address> <your network
mask>”. For example, if your switch IP is 192.168.10.1 and the
network mask is 255.255.255.0. Then you should type “net
interface ip sw0 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0”.
b)
If the switch has to be managed across networks, then a default
gateway or a static route entry is required. Type “net route static
add 0.0.0.0 <your network gateway IP> 0.0.0.0 1” as your default
route entry, as shown in Figure 5.
