such as Internet Explorer.

2. Enter the IP address of the switch module in the address field.

3. Log into Web Tools using the default administrative account.

Login: USERID

Password: PASSW0RD where the sixth character is a zero

See the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide for more information on using Web Tools.

NOTE

The passwords that are used to access the switch module are case-sensitive. To increase system
security, change the password after you log on for the first time.

Initial configuration

The operating software on the switch module contains default configuration files that are installed
during the software installation. These initial configuration settings are not in a separate
configuration file but are components of the software. When you restore the management module
to factory defaults, the original configuration is restored.

Logging in to the switch module

The switch module supports user-based security that enables you to prevent unauthorized users
from accessing the switch or changing its settings.

To log in to the switch module, complete the following steps:

1. At the prompt, type your user ID and press Enter. The default user ID is USERID.

2. Type your password (default is PASSW0RD where the sixth character is a zero) and press Enter.

The main-menu window opens.

After you log on to the switch module, you must set the date and time by using the date command
in the form date “mmddhhmmyy” where mm is month, dd is day, hh is hour, mm is minute, and yy is
year.

Configuring for FCoE

The initial configuration of the switch has the CEE ports shut down. In order to configure the ports
for FCoE operation, you must access the CEE command shell and configure both the internal and
external CEE ports. Once you have logged into the switch, use the cmsh command to access the
CEE command shell. Use the following steps to configure the CEE ports.

1. Login to the switch.

2. From the command prompt type cmsh and press Enter.

3. Type enable and press Enter.
