xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch 
Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on the console screen. This is 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.
