The switch supports two operating modes:
◆ Legacy Mode – Basic feature set, accessible via CLI, web interface, or SNMP.
◆ Hybrid Mode – Provides OpenFlow agent and OF-Data Plane Abstraction flow
tables, switch configuration from OpenFlow controller, and partial legacy
feature set. This operating mode is only accessible via the CLI and SNMP.
Note:
For a list of differences in the features provided by Legacy Mode and Hybrid
Mode, see “Legacy and Hybrid Operating Mode Feature Set Differences” on

Logging Onto the
Command Line
Interface
The CLI program provides two different command levels — normal access level
(Normal Exec) and privileged access level (Privileged Exec). The commands
available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of those available at the
Privileged Exec level and allow you to only display information and use basic
utilities. To fully configure the switch parameters, you must access the CLI at the
Privileged Exec level.
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords. The switch
has a default user name and password for each level. To log into the CLI at the
Privileged Exec level using the default user name and password, perform these
steps:
1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The “User Access
Verification” procedure starts.
2. At the User Name prompt, enter “admin.”
3. At the Password prompt, also enter “admin.” (The password characters are not
displayed on the console screen.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#” prompt indicating
you have access at the Privileged Exec level.
