fs.com Switches purchased in 2021

Initial Setup Notes

SSH into the switch with the default user:pass = "admin:admin"

First Change the password, note that we are using local authentication mode, not "aaa" mode. What is aaa mode? That's for authenticating against a radius/TACACS+ server.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# line vty 0 7
Switch(config-line)# login
Switch(config-line)# line-password abc
Switch(config)# exit

Set the time

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# clock set datetime 11:30:00 10 26 2013
Switch(config)# clock set summer-time dst date 3 13 2022 02:00:00 11 6 2022 02:00:00 120
Switch(config)# exit

Interface

The // at the end of the line indicates the start of a comment:

Switch# show interface status //show status of all the ports
Switch# show interface eth-0-49 //shows the status of eth-0-49

Switch# copy flash:/startup-config.conf mgmt-if scp://10.10.129.X/startup-config.conf
