Configuring the switch
2
To connect to the switch over the SSH interface, complete the following steps.
1. Open an SSH connection to the switch and enter the IP address for the switch, then press
Enter.
2. Log in using the following default username and password settings:
User ID: USERID
Password: PASSW0RD (wherein the sixth character is a zero)
The passwords that are used to access the switch are case-sensitive. To increase system security,
change the password after you log in for the first time. For more information, see the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
Connecting to the switch using Web Tools
You can connect directly to the switch using Web Tools as an alternative to using the CMM. Web
Tools is a graphical user interface that you can use to configure the switch directly.
To use Web Tools, you must first obtain the required digital certificates for SSL support. Certificates
are required on all switches that are to be accessed through SSL. You must also install a certificate
in the Java plug-in on the management workstation, and you might need to add a certificate to your
Web browser.
For more information on configuring SSL, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
1. On a computer in the same network as the switch, open a supported Web browser, such as
Internet Explorer.
2. Using SSL, enter the IP address of the switch in the address field, for example:
https:// 10.24.151.224
3. Log in to Web Tools using the following default username and password settings:
User ID: USERID
Password: PASSW0RD (wherein the sixth character is a zero)
You are now ready to define the configuration settings. For more information on using Web Tools,
see the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide.
The passwords that are used to access the switch are case-sensitive. To increase system security,
change the password after you log in for the first time. For more information, see the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
