<div>
here is what i did :<br />
<br />
I used telnet to connect to the swirch<br />
entered the telnet password (which i defined from the switch web interface)<br />
i typed switch&gt;enable to enter the enter privileged exec mode and add the NTP server<br />
i got no password defined<br />
<br />
now i am stuck i dont know what is the next step to enter the enter privileged exec mode

A had to find the trick by connecting through hyper terminal not through telnet which is not mentioned in any other comment.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

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.
