I can't figure out how to assign/change the root password on the PC5448. &nbsp;The switch is new but when i connected to it via the console port, the wizard didn't come up like it was supposed to. &nbsp;I basically just wanted to assign the IP and change the root password so I could continue to configure the ports through the HTTP page. &nbsp;<br />

The IP is assigned so i just need to know the command to change the password. &nbsp;

I need to change the root password on the switch.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
