D-Link DGS-3130-54TS [10/25] Connecting to the mgmt port

After the boot sequence has been completed, the console login screen will be displayed.

Connecting to the Switch for the First Time

By default, there is no Username and Password configured in the account settings of this

switch. This will allow the user to simply connect to this Switch for the first time by pressing

the ‘Enter’ key. After pressing Enter, access will be given to enter commands after the

command prompt (Switch>) appears.

NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. At least one

Administrator-level user account must be created for the Switch.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to create a user account containing a username

and a password on the Switch to prevent unauthorized access to the management

interface.

Connecting to the MGMT Port

The rear panel of the Switch features an Out-Of-Band (OOB) RJ-45 MGMT port which can

be used to connect to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable. A web browser or

Telnet client can be used to connect to the Switch using the MGMT port. To use the MGMT

port, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a computer and the other end to the Switch.

The default IP address of the MGMT port is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. Make sure that the computer being used for the switch management has a

non-conflicting IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 network.

To view the IP settings of the MGMT port, use the following command:
