Logging in to the gateway and configuring basic settings

	CAUTION: To ensure device security, change the default login password the first time you log in to the gateway.

 

Login methods

The gateway supports the following types of login methods:

·     Web login—The gateway is provided with factory default Web login information. You can log in to the Web interface of the gateway by using the default Web login information.

·     CLI login from the console port—By connecting the console port of the gateway to a configuration terminal, you can log in to the CLI of the gateway. At the CLI, you can configure other access methods.

·     Telnet/SSH login—By using Telnet/SSH, you can access and manage the gateway remotely.

For more information about the login methods, see the configuration guides for the M9000 gateways.

Logging in from the Web interface

The gateway is provided with the default Web login formation. You can use the default Web login information to access the Web interface of the gateway.

The default Web interface login information is as follows:

·     Username—admin.

·     Password—admin.

·     Management Ethernet interface and its IP address—The management Ethernet interface is 0/MGMT and its IP address is 192.168.0.1/24.

To log in to the gateway from the Web interface by using the default Web login formation:

1.     Use an Ethernet cable to connect a PC to management Ethernet interface 0/MGMT on the gateway.

2.     Assign an IP address (except 192.168.0.1) in subnet 192.168.0.0/24 to the PC. Make sure the PC and the gateway are reachable to each other.

The PC must use a different IP address than 0/MGMT.

3.     Start a browser, enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, and then press Enter.

4.     Enter the default username admin and password admin and then click Login.

5.     Modify the login information.

At the first login from the Web interface, change the password as required in the pop-up window, and then click OK.

Keep the new password secure.

Logging in from the console port

Preparation for login

Prepare a console cable and a configuration terminal.

·     Console cable:

¡     DB9-to-RJ45 console cable—8-core console cable with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end and a DB-9 female connector at the other end.

¡     USB-to-RJ45 console cable—8-core console cable with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end and a standard USB connector at the other end.

·     Configuration terminal—Terminal with a serial port such as a PC.

Console cables

As shown in Table 1, two types of console cables can be used for connecting the gateway to a configuration terminal.

Table 1 Connection methods and console cables

Connection method	Console cable type	Configuration terminal-side connector	Gateway-side connector
Using the serial console port for connection	DB9-to-RJ45 console cable	DB-9 female connector	RJ-45 connector
	USB-to-RJ45 console cable	USB connector	RJ-45 connector

 

No console cables are provided with the gateway. Prepare them yourself as required.

The RJ-45 signal pinout varies by the vendor of the cable. To avoid abnormal display on the configuration terminal, use a console cable provided by H3C (as shown in Table 2). To prepare a console cable yourself, make sure the RJ-45 connector signal pinout is the same as that of a serial console cable provided by H3C.

For more information about the console cable signal pinout, see "Appendix E  Cables."

Setting up the configuration environment

Connecting a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable

1.     Prepare a console cable and a configuration terminal.

¡     Console cable—8-core console cable with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end and a DB-9 female connector at the other end.

¡     Configuration terminal—Terminal with a serial port such as a PC.

2.     Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port on the PC.

3.     Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port on the gateway.

 

NOTE: ·     The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating gateway, first connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating gateway, first disconnect the gateway end. ·     When the PC does not have an RS-232 port but only a USB port, use a USB to RS-232 converter to connect the USB port to the console cable and install the corresponding driver program correctly.

Connecting a USB-to-RJ45 console cable

IMPORTANT: ·     To use a USB-to-RJ45 console cable to connect the gateway to a configuration terminal, first download and install the USB-to-RJ45 console driver on the configuration terminal, and then connect the USB-to-RJ45 console cable to the configuration terminal. To download the USB-to-RJ45 console driver, access the H3C official website or scan the QR code on the cable package. ·     If you have connected a USB-to-RJ45 console cable to the configuration terminal before driver installation, you must remove and reconnect the USB-to-RJ45 console cable to the configuration terminal.

 

The following installs the driver on the Windows system. To install the driver on other operating systems, see the installation guide in the driver compression package named by the corresponding operating system.

To connect the gateway to the configuration terminal through a USB-to-RJ45 console cable:

1.     Click the following link, or copy it to the address bar on your browser and download the USB-to-RJ45 console driver.

http://www.h3c.com/en/home/USB_to_RJ45_Console/

2.     View the TXT file Read me in the Windows folder to check whether the Windows system of the configuration terminal supports the driver.

3.     If the Windows system supports the driver, install PL23XX-M_LogoDriver_Setup_v200_20190815.exe.
