Overview of First Login

You can use a console port or management network port to log in to a device powered on for the first time. Local login through the console port is the most basic mode and the basis for configuring other login modes.

The console port is a serial port on a main control board. Each main control board provides one console port, and the type of the console port is EIA/TIA-232 DCE. You can directly connect a terminal's serial port to the console port to configure the device.

• When you log in to the device for the first time, the device system prompts you to set a password.
• You can press CTRL+R to restore the factory settings and delete the configured password.

To remotely manage and control devices in a unified manner on large-scale networks and thereby improve deployment efficiency and reduce O&M costs, you can use the plug-and-play function based on DCN or DHCP to batch deploy devices powered on for the first time.
