where the user will enter commands to perform all the available management functions. The
Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name and a password. Upon the initial connection,
there is no user name or password and therefore just press enter twice to access the command
line interface.

First Time Connecting to the Switch
The Switch supports user-based security that can allow you to prevent unauthorized users
from accessing the Switch or changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the
Switch.
NOTE: The passwords used to access the Switch are case-sensitive;
therefore, “S” is not the same as “s.”
When you first connect to the Switch, you will be presented with the first login screen (shown
below).
NOTE:
Press Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at
any time to force the console program in the Switch to refresh the console
screen.
