1 At the CLI command prompt, enter the command ‘enable’ to enter the Privileged EXEC Mode. Press Enter.

2 Enter the command ‘configure terminal’ to enter the Global Configuration Mode. Press Enter. 

3 Enter the command ‘username NewUser password 12345’. Press Enter. This will create a user account with the 

username of ‘NewUser’ and a password of ‘12345’.

4 Enter the command ‘username NewUser privilege 15’. Press Enter. This will configure this user account to have 

Administrative (15) privileges.

6 Enter the command ‘login local’. Press Enter. This specifies that the local line requires login credentials.

7 Enter the command ‘end’ to exit back to the Privileged EXEC Mode.

Configuring the IP Address

Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager 

or other TCP/IP applications. The switch's default IP address is 0.0.0.0 and should thus be configured prior to 

installation. You can change the switch’s default IP address to fit into your networking address range.

The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be 

found by entering the command "show system-info" into the command line interface in the Privileged EXEC mode, 

as shown below.
