The first step to configuring any of these settings is to connect via the serial console.
There is an included serial cable with the switch. This serial cable can be connected to
an adapter on a laptop or another server. A popular serial terminal program is PuTTY,
which can be downloaded from the web, and there is a link in other reading. Screen is a
favorite Linux serial emulator of many administrators and can be used. The serial
settings in PuTTY only require changing the COM port to match what your adapter is set
to. To learn what COM port, navigate to the Device Manager that can be accessed via
running the command mmc devmgmt.msc or navigating through standard menus.
Logging In, Setting the IP Address and Updating Firmware
Once you have accessed the switch's serial console, you can login with the default
password for the account. If you are planning to script any zoning, log in as root with the
password “fibranne” by default. If you will be doing manual zoning or zoning through the
WebTools interface, you can login as admin with the password “password” by default.
These passwords should be changed, which can be done on the command line with the
passwd command. The syntax is simply passwd admin and then following prompts.
