1.1 Introduction
You can log in to switches through console port or Telnet.
1.1.1 Login Through the Console
When a switch is powered on for the first time or a switch needs to be locally configured, you
can log in to the switch through the console port.
In the following cases, a switch can be configured only through the console port:
lThe switch is powered on for the first time.
lThe subscriber cannot login through Telnet.
1.1.2 Login Through Telnet
If you know the IP address of a switch, you can log in to the switch through Telnet to perform
local or remote configurations.
YYou need to pre-configure the IP addresses of interfaces, the user account, the authentication
mode, and the incoming and outgoing call restriction through the console interface on the
switch. Also, ensure that directly-connected or reachable switch exist between terminals and the
switch.
The destination switch authenticates the user based on the configured parameters in three modes:
lPassword authentication: indicates that the login user should enter the correct password.
lAAA local authentication: indicates that the login user should enter the correct user name
and password.
lNone authentication: indicates that the login user need not enter the user name or password.
If the login succeeds, a command line prompt such as <Quidway> appears on the Telnet client
interface.
Enter a command to check the running status of the switch or to configure the switch.
Enter "?" for help.
NOTE
Do not modify the IP address of the switch when you configure the switch through Telnet because the
modification may terminate Telnet connection. Otherwise, set up the connection again after entering a new
IP address.
1.2 Logging In to the Device Through the Console Port

1.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring login to the switch through the console port, familiarize yourself with the
applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This
can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
If you log in to the switch for the first time or perform the local configuration, you need to log
in to the switch through the console port.
NOTE
If you cannot log in to the switch through the telnet, you need to log in to the switch through the console
port.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring login to the switch through the console port, complete the following tasks:
lPreparing the PC/terminal (including serial port and RS-232 cable)
lInstalling terminal emulation program on the PC (such as Windows XP HyperTerminal)
Data Preparation
To login the switch through the console port, you need the following data.
NOTE
If the AAA authentication mode is configured for users to log in to the switch through the console interface,
the correct user name and password must be entered for a successful login.
No. Data
1Terminal communication parameters
lBaud rate
lData bit
lParity
lStop bit
lFlow-control mode
2(Optional) User name and password to be entered for a successful login in AAA
authentication mode
1.2.2 Establishing the Physical Connection
This part describes how to physically connect a terminal to a switch before login to the switch
through the console port.
Context

port.
Context
Do as follows on the PC:
Procedure
Step 1 Run the terminal emulation program on the PC, setting the communication parameters as
follows:
lBaud rate: 9600 bps
lData bit: 8
lStop bit: 1
lParity: none
lFlow control: none
----End
1.2.4 Logging In to the Device
This part describes how to log in to the switch through the console port.
Context
Do as follows on the PC:
Procedure
Step 1 Press Enter until a command line prompt such as <Quidway> appears. Now the user view is
displayed for you to configure the switch.
NOTE
If the AAA or Password authentication mode is configured for users to log in to the switch through the
console interface, the correct user name and password must be entered for a successful login.
----End
